Over on the Wirral I remember Green Lane vehicle operating the 172 from Woodside to Heswall , so strange seeing a Liverpool Merseybus garage operating on the Wirral.

Another route that in its day saw odd operators was the 284 Liverpool to Southport service.

CMT ran the 105/115/116 in St Helens with dual door Nationals. On the subject of the 284, I recall Fareway (whilst still independent) running the service. We have also had Blue Triangle with an ex-Ribble PD (unsure whether it was 2 or 3) on the 102 (St Helens - Ashton) one year.
