Map 7 is a interesting one as it showcases Oldhams more compacted network group than previous batches shown with a nice trans lancs topping to top everything off with epic Warrington - Leeds combined routes 402/403.

They will have been 63 routes operating on 26th October 1986 using the Prefix 4** which means 36 numbers was vacant on launch day

The Numbers that was not used on launch day was
496, 495, 494, 493, 491, 490, 489, 487, 486, 485, 483, 469, 467, 463, 462, 461, 460, 459, 458, 455, 448, 446, 445, 444, 442, 441, 430, 429, 424, 423, 420, 418, 417, 416, 413, 407,

I remember the 404 and 405 in their First days, but they used to turn around at Limeside at the former turning circle at St Chads, a car park was built across the old through road.
