That was at d-reg itself, the next raft of changes after that could only take place from the end of January 87 onwards.

Been looking at this https://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/84...6/sizes/k/ what strikes me is the Kirkby area number scheme introduced in either 1979 or 80 most of the regular all day routes in the Kirkby area got renumbered 150 to 159 series

150/152 Kirkby Civic Centre-Westvale-Northwood Circular
151 Kirkby Admin-Tower Hill
153 Kirkby Admin-Kirkby Station
154 Central Bus Station-Gilmoss/Northwood
155 Tower Hill-Pier Head
156 Tower Hill-Walton
157 Northwood-Pier Head
158 Southdene-Walton
159 Tower Hill-Broad Lane

Some buses were built with 4 track number blinds incase the PTE added letters to the numbers, preserved Atlantean 1836 is one such bus, the number scheme was withdrawn at d-reg.
