An example of an area I can think of is Huyton.

5 Liverpool to St Helens/Rainhill (Withdrawn)
6 Liverpool to Huyton (Withdrawn)
6 (H5) Liverpool to Warrington (Merged with 7 - combined frequency reduction)
10B Liverpool to Huyton (Weekend frequency reduction)
11 Liverpool to Stockbridge/Huyton/Prescot (Withdrawn)
21 Stockbridge to Huyton/Prescot (Withdrawn)
39 (49) St Helens to Alder Hey (Withdrawn)
61 Liverpool to Runcorn (Frequency reduction and part funded by Merseytravel to service Liverpool)
90 St Helens to Kirkby (Withdrawn)
212 Liverpool to Huyton via Stockbridge (Withdrawn)

8/9 replaced the 274/275 largely but this cut Huyton from Tuebrook/West Derby whilst increasing Old Swan routed services.
