Has anyone got a bus map for Grimsby from around 2009 (at least before 2013) when there were more bus.
I have January 2014, May 2016, January 2017 and January 2019.

And is it true that Route 9 is set to be stopped and only Route 10 will continue?

Who produced the bus maps you are referring to? Was it the bus operators or the council? If it was the council then it might be worth making a Freedom Of Information request to them for their back editions. They may still hold them.

Good news: I had a look on my old Macintosh hard drive where I found a PDF map that I'd downloaded back in February 2013. The metadata says it was made in April 2012.

It is interesting to see that the 45 (now Simplibus 5) has not changed much. It still runs from Immingham to Grimsby and extends to North Sea Lane on evenings after 18:00, extensions to South Killingholme and the Willows still run and now the Willows is the norm for the 5. South Killingholme is served by some services.

The South Killingholme extension was dropped at the beginning of the the second week of January.

Also, I'm surprised that GCT ran any services on a Sunday in 1985 before Sunday trading laws were introduced.

Ah forgot yes. Any replacement? Isn’t Route 5 (5M,5S and 5W) what was 45, 46 and 47 (at one point). I also wonder what is the difference between route 1 and route 2?

The replacement is a demand responsive service.

I don't know much else about route 5, apart from the fact it has an extension to the millennium inorganic chemicals plant.
