I see, i remember the 76 being extended hourly to Billinge[half hourly Pier Head-St Helens] & looking at my March 88 Liverpool bus map rerouted via Belle Vale & Whiston, then via the 10A Prescot to St Helens.

Routes through Whiston were interesting then, just after Crosville closed down the Liverpool depot because of the strike, seems Merseybus extended ont of the 75s as 75A to Prescot via Whiston.

Do you remember the Timeline buses, Timeline bus division was set up by Shearings, they ran
48/49 Huyton-Prescot Circular
50 Huyton-Warrington
52 Prescot-Warrington

The 50/52 evolved to become Prescot-St Helens-Warrington
