Also Crosvile's H3 was 143.

Indeed, even then tendered services to Merseybus routes had strange numbers too, 92 was 219 as Merseytravel had a 192 which was the old part of the 92, not sure if the Fareway F8 was 218 or that was the 18C.

Wasn't there there an evening/Sunday 198 which followed much of the 18 route? Sure I vaguely remember that route.

Might have been but not sure.

Another one when the 18 was Seacombe-Mill Park, Merseytravel numbered the tendered version 218, as there was already a 118/119 New Brighton-Mill Park until a couple of years ago in the Wirral network review,

Funnily enough Crosville had a 143 which became H5 in the 1959 renumbering scheme. Cross boundary services that were tendered still kept the prefixes, that included Sunday C1/C2/C3 Woodside/Hooton-Chester, when they were operated by Merseybus under tender to both Cheshire Bus & Merseytravel

I'm not sure when Crosville dropped the prefix letters for there commercial services, i think it was after the PMT takeover though?

RE: Old Bus Routes Wirral
Just browsing on Ebay found the inadvertently found the replacements for the 501/502/515 they were

27/28 Woodside-Liscard-New Brighton-Liscard, operated from Woodside to Liscard via the 501/502, then did a loop via Hoeside Road & Warren Drive to New Brighton, then via 515 to Liscard, then returned to Woodside via New Brighton & Liscard, 27 operated from Woodside to Liscard via New Brighton, 28 opposite direction, however this was very short lived, although the 27/28 started August 96 the 27/27 was withdrawn January 97 & replaced by the 6 & 9

August 96, the 1C was renumbered 10C & diverted via Liscard, the 1 thus operating Woodside-New Brighton only all day
