BBC show, LCT buses &amp; services from the 1973 (Liverpool), a good watch tbh <img src="images/smilies/heart.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Heart" title="Heart" /><br />

<br />
1973 - Bernard Falk returns to his native Merseyside, where local residents from the Scotland Road area of Liverpool have set up a community transport scheme. Originally conceived 2 years ago, the group saved two old Liverpool buses and repaired them, enabling local children to go on free day trips to the beach and get a break from their urban surroundings. Since then the scheme and the fleet of vehicles has expanded to include several coaches, buses and vans - all obtained either free of charge or for their scrap value - and repaired and maintained by volunteer mechanics from the community. Now LCT vehicles are used to help people move house, and to take older residents and young families on retreats and holidays to the countryside. There is even talk that the LCT might invest in some old passenger boats]]></description>

What routes did they run (I'm sure they competed with Merseybus on the then 10/10A and 64/64A), where was their depot and what happened to them?<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Just been researching the history of a few old coaches from the Merseycoach/Sightseers fleet.<br />
<br />
One of the more interesting ones was Leyland Tiger/ Duple Laser 7031 BCK 314Y.<br />
It was the first Laser built in 1982 and exhibited at the Motor Show that year by Duple along side a Caribbean.<br />
<br />
Merseyside PTE purchased it for a very favourable £39,000 on condition of it being used on a demonstration run to other operators joining the fleet art Southport in June 1983.<br />
Our settled down to life on tours and private hire as it was not equipped for bus service work as it retained its coach spec.<br />
<br />
Sometime in the early 1990s it was registered OIW5804 and this until withdrawal when  MTL wound up Sightseers in 1998/9.<br />
<br />
Last I heard was out was sold with a GBG-Y Mark but not sure of this. Could any one help with its IF when it was sold and its after sale too?]]></description>

As I understand it, it was similar to the network operated by Stagecoach today. However, there's a couple of services operated by First which no longer run today. In 2003, there was a 92 from Birkenhead to Beechwood via Claughton. And in 2007, there was a 39 from Liverpool to Liscard via Moreton and Wallasey. Can someone help fill in the gaps?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[During the mid-1990s, Merseytravel funded a series of mobility buses for people who couldn't use normal buses as a result of a disability. They had two man crews and were fitted with lifts and a telephone for passenger enquiries.<br />
<br />
Here's the routes I have information for:<br />
<br />
Liverpool:<br />
945 - Croxteth to City Centre - route unknown<br />
950 - Thornton to Paradise Street Bus Station via Moor Lane, loop around Rimrose Valley Road, Brownmoor Lane, Coronation Road, Oxford Road, Waterloo, Sandringham Road, Seaforth Road, Rimrose Road, Marsh Lane, Washington Parade, Stanley Road, Boundary Street, Limekiln Lane, Vauxhall Road (Tuesdays and Thursdays)<br />
951 - Netherton to PSBS via St. Oswalds Lane, Glovers Lane, Gorsey Lane, Sefton Road, loop around Hatton Hill Road and Field Road, Church Road, Harris Drive, Orrell Road, Linacre Lane, Stanley Road, Washington Parade, Merton Road, Hawthorne Road, Westminster Road, Great Homer Street, Norton Street (Tuesdays only)<br />
955 - Croxteth to PSBS via Park View Road, Willow Way, Middle Way, Altcross Road, Storrington Avenue, Dwerryhouse Lane, Muirhead Avenue East, Broad Lane, Utting Avenue, Cherry Lane, Stanley Park Avenue, Utting Avenue, Anfield Road, Robson Street, Breck Road, Everton Road (Tuesdays and Thursdays)<br />
960 - Crosby to City Centre via Netherton - route unknown<br />
975 - Norris Green to City Centre - route unknown<br />
<br />
St. Helens:<br />
920 - Rainford to St. Helens via Rainford Junction, Windle, Dentons Green, Cowley Hill (Wednesdays and Saturdays)<br />
921 - Billinge to St. Helens via Chapel End, Carr Mill, Clinkham Wood, Haresfinch (Wednesdays and Saturdays)<br />
922 - Garswood to St. Helens via Downhall Green, Tithe Barn Hillock, Ashton Cross, Haydock, Blackbrook, Chain Lane, Merton Bank (Mondays and Thursdays)<br />
923 - Bradleigh Estate to St. Helens via Wargrave, Newton-le-Willows, Belvedere Estate, Earlestown, Derbyshire Hill, Ashton Green (Tuesdays and Fridays)<br />
924 - Old Whint to St. Helens via Blackbrook, Broad Oak, Parr (Wednesdays and Saturdays)<br />
925 - Sutton to St. Helens via St. Helens Junction, Worsley Green, Derbyshire Hill, Parr (Mondays and Thursdays)<br />
926 - Clock Face to St. Helens via Sutton Manor, Marshalls Cross, St. Helens Hospital, Peasley Cross (Tuesdays and Fridays)<br />
927 - Rainhill Stoops to St. Helens via Rainhill, Holt, Nutgrove, Thatto Heath, Ravenhead (Tuesdays and Fridays)<br />
928 - Grange Park to St. Helens via Thatto Heath, Ravenhead, Sutton Heath, Peasley Cross (Mondays and Thursdays)<br />
929 - Eccleston Park to St. Helens via Mill Brow, Knowsley Road, Pigot Street (Wednesdays and Saturdays)<br />
<br />
I don't have any info on any Southport or Wirral mobility services, so if there was and someone can fill in the blanks, that would be great. I'm also unsure when the services were introduced and how long they lasted, other than that the 960 and 975 were withdrawn October 1996]]></description>

I don't have any info on any Southport or Wirral mobility services, so if there was and someone can fill in the blanks, that would be great. I'm also unsure when the services were introduced and how long they lasted, other than that the 960 and 975 were withdrawn October 1996]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi All,<br />
<br />
I've been doing a bit of light research on the origins of the registration plate VKB708 and was wondering if anyone can either confirm if my research is correct or not and could they add any more to it.<br />
<br />
As far as I can gather this is the case.<br />
<br />
First bus to have the plate was Liverpool Corporation Leyland PD2/Crossley, L252 VKB708<br />
<br />
This lasted a lot longer than the rest of that batch (not sure what dates but until Merseybus times) as it was used for towing buses from Carnegie Road to Edge Lane or Green Lane?<br />
<br />
The bus was later sold to preservationists for spares but the registration was retained by Merseybus and transferred to Leyland Tiger/Duple 7010 ex CKC625X.<br />
<br />
Third vehicle to have the plate was Shearings Volvo B10M/Van Hool ex B483UNB which MTL acquired after they bought Fareway.  This vehicle was Fareway fleet number 2, not sure on its MTL number however if anyone knows?<br />
<br />
This vehicle was then later transferred to Heysham Travel, which MTL owned at the time and in February 2000 the entire of MTL was sold to Arriva and so Arriva ended up with it.  Arriva then sold the Heysham Travel depot to Stagecoach in June 2000 and the vehicle became Stagecoach North West/Ribble 165 and later into the national system as 52002.  It was used for driver training purposes, apparently at various depots too so not even kept 'locally' at all!<br />
<br />
<br />
As when then know Arriva sold Gillmoss to GTL in 2001 which then sold out to Stagecoach in 2005.<br />
<br />
The registration was in mid 2006 put onto what was the newest bus in Gillmoss at the time, Dart 34820 PX06DWF.  This was transferred to Chester depot in around 2014 and retained the plate initially but the plate was brought back to Liverpool in 2017 and fitted to Poppy Bus Enviro400 19038 SN56AWH and has most recently been transferred in July 2019 to new Poppy Bus Enviro400MMC 10534 SN16OMY.<br />
<br />
Of note Dart 34820 and Enviro400 19038 both got their original registrations back when they lost the VKB708 plate but Leyland Tiger 7010 became DEM269X rather than CKC625X again.<br />
<br />
If anyone knows any more on that, or the fleet number it has on the Volvo B10M coach at MTL I would love to know!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have seen a lot of interest in the past on here about GM Buses and operators after Deregulation in 1986 and I have started a little project looking at all the old routes around Greater Manchester and creating visual maps for each route and network map for all the routes that operated 33 years ago in Greater Manchester. <br />
<br />
I started to get very invovled in the history of Greater Manchester Bus Network due to increasingly annoyed about the current state of our network which is not fit for purpose and I wanted to create my own version of network I would love to see around Greater Manchester and this project will enable me to do that. <br />
<br />
I'm just wondering if it allowed to share links to the maps and that I can share them in this new thread, as I'm finding them interesting to look at and I'm sure the members will love looking at the routes that operated in the past but has now been withdrawn.<br />
<br />
Also the maps are interactive so you can select the routes you want to see or don't want to see.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Topping's Coaches - 'Topp Line'/'Home James']]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[I’ve not noticed a post on this before but does anyone remember Topping’s/Home James who were quite a well known coach who later branched out into bus operation in Liverpool/the Wirral.<br />
<br />
They had a office by Wavertree Clock Tower and ran coaches under the ‘Home James’ brand but with de-reg in 1986 they branched out into bus operation with the Monday-Friday peak X10 Rainhill Stoops – Liverpool City Centre with Leyland National’s, Bristol RE’s and a ex-Greater Manchester Leyland Fleetline of which they adopted a revised Greater Manchester orange, white and blue livery along with the ‘Topp Line’ fleet name. Not sure but was the X10 a Merseytravel contract/de-minis or did they operate that commercially?<br />
<br />
They also began commercial services on the Wirral with the 16/17 Woodchurch/Ford Circular services and gained Merseytravel contracts for the 103 Aigburth Vale – Waterloo and the 106/116/140 via Edge Lane (evening/Sunday) from 1988-91 too. Topping’s along with PMT’s Red Rider seemed to muscle into Merseytravel contract’s in East Liverpool/Huyton and I wonder did they price out Merseybus or did Merseybus have no interest in running them?<br />
<br />
Fleetwise they acquired a fair few Leyland Nationals along with ECW Bristol VR’s including a early ex-Ribble example and a handful from Brighton &amp; Hove and in 1989 got a batch of brand new Leyland Lynx’s which mainly ran the Wirral services and sometimes saw use on the 106/116/140 too. Could be wrong but didn’t Topping’s have a yard/depot around the back of the Merseybus engineering garage at Carnegie Road (Green Lane) as I saw a couple of their VR’s parked up around there in 1990/91 unless they were getting work, MOT etc. at Carnegie Road or perhaps they were being sold/disposed of?<br />
<br />
Topping’s bus operations disappeared around 1991 when the Merseytravel contracts were lost and/or Merseybus began running commercial evening/Sunday services on the Edge Lane corridor. Their Wirral operations along with the Leyland Lynx’s also got sold around this time to PMT’s Red Rider division who also acquired Wirral Bus and CMT’s Wirral operations around then too who kept the Lynx’s which looked nice in the PMT yellow/red livery too.<br />
<br />
IIRC the Topping’s/Home James coach operations also ceased around or shortly after this time too. Didn’t they also have a rare double deck Plaxton coach as their flagship vehicle too?<br />
<br />
Topping’s generally didn’t branch out too much apart from those commercial services on the Wirral and sort of seem a bit forgotten when looking back at that early de-reg period on Merseyside. I suppose the likes of Aintree Coachline, pre-1989 Amberline, Wingates etc. were quite similar to Topping’s back then with regard to their involvement with bus operation post de-reg too. Maybe if they’d have gone for more extensive commercial operation back then Topping’s may have been more remembered (successful?) but likewise they may have encountered more pitfalls and failed in ways the likes of CMT, Fareway, Liverbus, Liverline etc. didn’t. Also it's highly likely they'd have got hovered up with the take-overs and consolidation that happened in the mid-90's too!<br />
<br />
I probably say this with biased nostalgia but Topping’s although not setting the world alight seemed a half-decent outfit who by and large ran their services as expected and seemed to have a fairly clean fleet too… although towards the end I did encounter a Bristol VR which had a Perspex nearside rear window and another (perhaps driver error) which tapped the rear of a Merseybus Atlantean at Great Charlotte Street traffic lights once too, so perhaps they weren't all that great either.<br />
<br />
Here’s a selection of photo’s of Topping’s bus operations from that era from the Transport Library too.<br />

Guys, please can any of you help with a bit of a random Q?<br />
<br />
Of the current Arriva network of Wirral services, can any of you remember which originated with Crosville, rather than being exPTE services.<br />
<br />
Just curious as to how much Merseybus then Arriva nibbled into areas of the Wirral that historically were Crosville, then First, now Stagecoach.<br />
(Guessing that, if any, will be down to First abandoning)<br />
<br />
Hoping some of you guys have a great memory ;-)<br />
