Ah I'm sure I know who you are then! I was on 2160 & 1054! I was the one who gave all my change when getting off 2160....and had no more when I got off 1054!

well i had a good time there along with my kids who completely enjoyed it but unfortunately had to shoot off early then i wanted too.
Got to say Wallasey 1 needs a re-paint, been looking scruffy for a whilst.

And indeed it will be re-painted in time for our Wallasey running day next year, we're just waiting to move it to the NWVRT's depot with Birkenhead 10 where work will begin presumably early next year.

Well done to all especially given the present circumstances.
Was good that Mystery tour on 2101, I was on that downstairs, got off when we stoped for photos :')

Looks like you had the same afternoon I had. I also went to Seacombe on the Panther, and then rode the three Atlanteans in that order. I was actually impressed with the turn of speed on 1054 yesterday. Previously when I've ridden on this vehicle, including a few weeks ago it's been a bit of a snail.

That's good to hear. Have to make the Wallasey Running day, any date been set for that, or too early yet?

hope you enjoyed 2160 on a random route (which was unplaned hence a bit unusual especially the bit from New Brighton and back to Pacific Road )
and 1054 was unplaned hope you enjoyed and I garded both of them and of cause A267 for the 1 hour and A Half it operated
glad you enjoyed it
can i personally say well done to Tom Harrison and 201 for another outstanding Bus and Tram Show, I did not get tim to look around taylor Street due to guarding but was very good day
