It did eventually - the 42/46 survived the first revamp in March 2000, being split in October 2001. The 19 was itself a circle route for many years.

@StevieO1974 Thanks, great info; sounds like the 19 became part of the old 42 route.

PS The whistling sound of LRT's X-reg Atlanteans was due to the Eminox exahusts which were fitted to them in mid-life. The whistles were caused by a short piece of stainless steel flex at the base of the exhaust downpipe, so when the throttle was applied, this produced the 'breep'. Many people thought that there was something wrong with the exhausts when they heard the whistling sound, when in fact it was a part of the design.

Excellent video, brings back some memories. Where did the 87, C3, 46/42 and 106 go to, I'm aware of those routes by name but don't remember where they went. I was surprised to see the 42 on London Road. Nice to see the Leyland Atlanteans, they made a great sound and the Leyland Titans on the 15A route. I wish the orange Olympians were still around but I guess without the wheel chair access and them being old accounts for that. Was there a 52 as well, I have vague recollections of that here.
