It’s all part of the LCR’s proposal to simplify route numbers and the St Helens local series will form part of the 20/30 series of numbers with route exceptions such as the 89 being part of the 80/90 South Liverpool and the 10/10A forming the Eastern 00’s/10’s. I’d also imagine the plan is to prevent duplication of route numbers

Other simplifications include:
12 (23)
22 (322)
29 (289 E/S)
60 (24)
152 (37A)
153 (25)

I’m not really sure why some of the merseytravel contract numbers in the 100/200 series are staying whilst others are changing however!

------------------------------
I think the 25A (not 25) is the 153 equivalent. We will have to wait & see which part of Eccleston is served by the 25. As an Eccleston resident, I wonder if there will be any changes to the routing of 37/37A & 38 between St. Helens, Eccleston & Rainford.
