RE: Merseyside Transport Trust
Thanks for the update Andy. I'm presuming 1551 is going back into Red & Cream from what was seen yesterday.

RE: Merseyside Transport Trust
yes I was puzzled by that as it was red at last year's open day and then went green for Southport.

Anyway I'll make a point of getting to Southport for at least one Sunday.

I Cant confirm or deny about 1551 livery atm but looking at it I presume in the real southport tours livery of Red & Cream

2025 ran well on Formby Festival shuttles with 1054 being spare but not used...Same tommorow

For Speke Hall I presume its A267 & A36 with A Atlantean as backup

Had a ride on L501 back from Speke Hall this afternoon, with A267 parked up with one of the front windows upstairs broken and scuff marks alongside - assume it struck a tree at some point. L501 rode nicely though, always a pleasure.

507009 I was one of the Guards on A36 at the time of the incident but i believe when it was coming through the gates to Speke Hall it clipped A tree that was too far out nothing could be done

RE: Merseyside Transport Trust
Hopefully the repairs won't be too costly. It was a blessing in disguise actually as we were hoping to ride an Atlantean.
