You're right, they had BOTH!
The two of them had Alexander RH bodywork, with 0249 being on the F-reg. 0219 also had the 'Seacat' advert along its sides.

Thanks, remembered the seacat ad, just couldnt be 100% on it being 0219, E platers on that body were 0216-0230, with F being 0231-0250. Sold off far too early as well.

If this is the operator with the green/white livery, they also used to run a 60 (Bootle-Aigburth Vale), once a day, in one direction only on weekdays only, leaving Bootle sometime around 7.15am. Guess they tried to pick up some school fares or it was a positioning move for a 103. In fact, I think it actually changed to the 103 when it got to Aigburth.

LMS had an F JTY Olympian branded for the 761 Blackpool service. It was F309JTY, they also had F306JTY. http://www.flickr.com/photos/58375380@N07/8413809775/in/set-72157632606260943

The Trident was the first low floor decker in normal service. The first low floor decker delivered to a local operator was Aintree Coachline's Trident / East Lancs W5ACL: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58375380@N07/8414546270/in/set-72157632609702142
