Even though Ribble and the PTE signed an agreement in 1972, it wasn't until the end of 1975 that the inevitable rationalisation of the Crosby routes took place - possibly with an eye on the proposed Waterloo Interchange opening at the beginning of 1977 - where a general daytime 5-minute frequency, with alternate buses running via either Seaforth Station or Seaforth Sands, was put into place, basically halving what had gone on before.
