| Some photos from the Merseyside Transport Trust running day, which was held on September 9th. Preserved buses from the MTT collection ran over a number of routes, but mostly between Pier Head and South Parkway station via Penny Lane.
An excellent day, though the weather oculd have been better, and Pier Head resembled a building site ! |
