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.

Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.

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@N0...2609702142
