217 Liverpool-Halewood via Kirkby-Huyton
192 Kirkby-Halewood although i'm not sure if Merseybus operated the 192 then
Smart 1 Broadgreen-City Centre-Aigburth Vale
Smart 4 & 5 but not sure of the routes
1/4/5 were part of the Merseytravel smart network, using Neoplans, before replaced by the T reg Darts
11 Liverpool-Huyton, although could have been Stockbridge or Page Moss via Stockbridge, outer terminus had changed a few times before being completely withdrawn
18 became the 50, as 18 had a different route Waterloo-Crosby than the 53, 18 route North of Bootle is now the 54

I Missed out the 11, 217 and 75!
The Smarts were run by Arriva NW before the takeover
Smart 4 was Brunswick - Royal, Smart 5 was Aigburth - Royal eves/suns.
Arriva then commercialised them all in 04 as Le Bus.
The 11 was Liverpool - Stockbridge at the time, then extended to Prescot replacing the 258 in April.

First Crosville/PMT operated Liverpool to Chester section of X8 by this point dont think they did Southport as well by this time

The X8 by this time was definitely a shadow of it's former self having at one point in the 90's run from Banks to Llandudno.

I remember catching the X8 summer 96 when it went to Llandudno i've still got a Chester area timetable summer 96 somewhere, X8 North Western & X1 Crosville Wales Coastliner merged summer 96 as X8 Llandudno Junction-Banks, summer 97 it was X8 Rhyl-Banks, the Wales Coastliner section was a shadow of it's former self only operating in summer, before being permanently withdrawn after summer 97.

As i've mentioned Crosville/North Western X8 Banks-Chester was split in Liverpool summer 98, Crosville operating Chester-Liverpool section which is now the Stagecoach Gold 1, & North Western Liverpool-Banks part of the Southport section hasn't been replaced as that went down Duke Street between Ainsdale & Southport, although Arrive 47 & Stagecoach X2 is near the line of the old X8.

RE: Initial Arriva Merseyside network
Off the top of my head the Wirral commercial network i think was
1 New Brighton-Woodside
3/3A Seacombe-Woodside
4/5 Liscard-Saughall Massie
6 New Brighton-Woodside
7/7A/8/8A New Brighton-Woodside
7A/8E New Brighton-Moreton
9 New Brighton-Woodside
10A New Brighton-Clatterbridge
10B New Brighton-Parkgate
10C New Brighton-Chester
18 Seacombe-Mill Park
33B/34B Woodside-Woodside via Seacombe-Moreton
37 Woodside-West Kirby
64A Woodside-New Ferry
407/408 Saughall Massie-Liverpool
410/411 Bromborough-Liverpool
417/418 Heswall-Liverpool
420 West Kirby-Liverpool
431/432/433/434 New Brighton-Liverpool
437 West Kirby-Liverpool
464 New Ferry-Liverpool
472 Heswall-Liverpool
488 Ness-Liverpool

472 was Monday to Friday off peak only, became 418 in the peaks with additional 417 via Irby, the Saturday 472 was operated by Crosville.

A few of the Cross River routes had different numbers during off peaks than peak, as they went from Queen Square direct to the tunnels via Crosshall Street & Victoria Street off peak, whilst going via Castle Street during the peaks, 432/433 went inbound via Byrom Street & St Johns Lane to Queen Square bus station, 431/434 went via Norton Street & Lime Street, 431/432/433/434 had the same routes from Queen Square to the tunnels

I do remember a short lived 510/511 Woodside-Bromborough replaced the 410/411 may have operated off peak or Saturdays only
