The 1 wasn’t replaced by the 11 until around 2006 at which point the 4/4a replaced the 100/200 Dingle Mount Circular. The 11 that replaced the 1 was just the Broadgreen to Liverpool section with the 82A covering Liverpool to Aigburth Vale.

The original 11 was City to Huyton/Prescot via Woolfall Heath/Bluebell and operated by ex- London Plaxton Pointer Darts and was later replaced by the 21 Stockbridge to Prescot (later Huyton)

The 210 became the 8D prior to 10B and would have been changed to this around 2001. Residents found the number confusing assuming it operated via Woolfall Heath and Longview.

My 1999 Liverpool map shows an 8D Liverpool-Huyton evening & Sundays only, operated by Merseybus over the 210 route, 210 had an evening & Sunday service too which is bizarre as they were both operated by Merseybus on the same route, but the 8D went to Huyton Station with 210 to Elizabeth Road
