North West Vehicle Restoration Trust (NWVRT)

[St Helens Rider]

RE: North West Vehicle Restoration Trust (NWVRT)
Many thanks and well done to all for today's event. In terms of journeys - Halton 33 was probably my favourite of the day when I caught it on a 92 and had chance for a photo stop in Knowsley Village. Also enjoyed 1788 on the last 90 to Prescot. It was also good to see 0261 looking superb - although not a St Helens vehicle, some of her sisters were based here and certainly brought back some memories of the late 80s/early 90s in the area.

In terms of the visiting vehicles - fantastic to see Ribble 806 - I think the first Ribble National Mk 1 I have seen in preservation (not including Ribble's Exhibition Vehicle). Also noticed St Helens AEC Swift 260 now has Merseyside fleetnames in place of corporation coat of arms showing the vehicle in the term when St Helens was absorbed into Merseyside.

All in all a good day and as WAITING FOR THE 437 said - very well attended and supported.
