| 摘要： | On April 9, three years later than planned thanks to the pandemic, the Wirral Transport Museum & Heritage Tramway celebrated the anniversary of the first municipal bus service in Wallasey on April 3, 1920. A road run included the inaugural route between Seacombe Ferry and Wallasey Grove Road station, and also visited the site of the former Seaview Road depot, which closed at deregulation in 1986 and was demolished shortly afterwards and replaced by a supermarket. Leading the road run along Grove Road in this view, with the railway station in the far distance, is preserved Wallasey 1 (FHF451) with Metro-Cammell body, the first municipal Leyland Atlantean, delivered in 1958 and with blind displays for route 2, latterly the designation for the first route. Following it is Merseyside PTE 1788 (OEM 788S), an MCW-bodied Atlantean, in the livery worn by sister vehicle 1789 until 1983, initially for an open day at the PTE's Edge Lane Works in September 1979. MCW-bodied Leyland Panther 1039 (FKF 918F) is representative of a small number of these ex-Liverpool vehicles which the PTE ran from Seaview Road depot in 1978/79. |
