Made it simple for people to know if they were going the long way or short way around a loop. Again if I remember correctly North Tyneside also had services numbered like this. One of the famous routes to be run like this is the 11A and 11C outer circle routes that circle the outer Birmingham area.
I think your correct on the 2A/2C part.
I remember when it was first launched, it was one massive loop service, the timetable was quite confusing. -
