I'm confused by this one now, the 2 goes down Regent Road [which is parallel to Great Howard Street] no regular route has gone down Great Howard Street since Avon went belly up [was 135/235] & Great Howard Street is an awkward area to serve anyway with it being mostly Industrial area, the 136 goes that was but only 3 to 4 journey's in both peaks Monday to Friday |

All needs checking. One basic error noticed straight away, showing under Liverpool - 81/81A does not run from the City Centre to Liverpool Airport. It runs from Bootle via Queens Drive, Woolton & Hunts Cross to Liverpool Airport |

Although not a Metro route, the Southport - Preston route is also numbered 2 which is probably the reason for the change of number for the City Centre - Sandhills route. |
