Crosville used to use letter prefixes for operating areas and H was for those operating out of Edge Lane depot for its Liverpool routes. Chester routes had a C prefix. There's a site somewhere that will give the whole alphabetical list of Crosville operating areas.



Yep it stems from the 1959 when all Crosville routes were renumbered with prefix letter
Axx Deeside
Bxx Flintshire
Cxx Chester
Dxx Wrexham
Exx East Cheshire
Fxx Wirral-Ellesmere Port & Neston, although Fxx wholly in the Merseyside area later became 72 to 89
Hxx Liverpool & Halton
Kxx Crewe & Nantwich
Lxx express services
Mxx Conwy-Denbighshire
Nxx Bangor & Anglesey [no not night buses]
Rxx Mid Wales
Sxx Aberystwyth
Txx Runcorn Town/Busway

Not sure of the others

500 is Liverpool one to the airport isn't it? Never have I seen need for double deckers on that route

The 500 does get busy enough at times to warrant the use of double deckers. I've seen very well loaded double deckers on the route fairly recently - so it's a good move to replace the 40-seat Commanders with double deckers in my opinion
