It pretty much replicated the service and crucially kept page numbers, whilst BBC Text only kept the menu page numbers and then for stuff not on Ceefax had four digit numbers - something which hasn't even been changed since. There may have been some logic in not numbering every single page but it leaves the menu making very little sense over a decade on.
Must be remembered the initial BBC Text didn't have any page numbers. They were added later. The fact they just so happened to match the Ceefax numbers for the various pages is probably not an accident.
