RE: Route History
Going on depots, i remember Gillmoss operating the 53 Liverpool-Thornton, 55 City Centre-Old Roan, may have operated the 93 City Centre-Crosby, 53 & 55 then became operated by Garston when they merged with the 86, think they might have gone back to Gillmoss, when the routes were split.

PTE era 12/13 was Green Lane operated, but moved to Gillmoss after d-reg[always remember MCWs & Dominators on the 12/13], normally interworkes with the 14C, 12/13 moved back to Green Lane sometime in the mid 90s, don't think it was when the routes merged in 91.

Speaking of vehicles, the experimental buses numbered in the 00 range, before d-reg the MCW Metrobuses were new to Gillmoss, Dennis Dominators, Speke, Leyland Olympians Green Lane, Volvo Ailsa's Laird Street. I think the rear engined Titan was supposed to be the natural successor to the Atlantean, but difficulties building them, that mostly London Titans, were built in numbers, the Titan was effectively replaced by the Olympian.
