A Liverpool Corporation Leyland PD2 bus on Shaw Street near the City Centre.
This bus was one of several hundred AEC and Leyland buses supplied in the
1950s, to replace much older buses, and to become replacement to the Trams
which finally ended in 1956. Photo from Heritage Buses of Britain 2024 Calendar.

Merseyside Transport Trust filmed a day out in June 2023.
I posted these on the Ribble and Corpy bus thread a couple o months ago.
A 28 at the sausage works. Pity the destination wasn't Old Haymarket.

Here's one Ray.
The original list was composed by gilesbus1 on the Merseyside Dennis Dart Forum.
South Lancashire area bus routes November 1971.
A great Mastermind specialist subject.

Nice photo on the Bootle X thread this morning.

Last bus before my week off and its a fine way to wrap things up with 2994 on the last Southport operated 300 of the night before Bootle takes over.
I'll enjoy my journey back. That's for sure.

It's somewhere close to Lord Street in Southport, Ray.
Not great on Southport, I've only been there on a handful of occasions. Always liked it though.
