Thanks Chris
It was a pleasure to join you on 1788 with Terry, Paul 👌
Thanks it was a good run out to Hooton, he's a top guy Terry. Went back on another of his buses at the end of the day
Great selection on show!
Always a good show, Crosville examples tend to be well represented being in Crosville country
Another great video. Was a great day. Thanks for including footage of my Routemaster 🙂
Thanks Routemasters are always popular with the public on running days
I had a really good day there
Thanks for the video mate
Cheers it was a very enjoyable day
So glad the fleetliner with the reg ckc308L is in the process of being restored
Yes, the guy driving the bus to Hooton & the one back at the end of the video is the one behind this restoration.
@Merseywail those along with the atlantaen's olympians national's were my fave buses noticed when going past rock ferry depot to cheshire oaks stagecoach have a couple of those hydrogen buses
@@davidmills4292 not seen them yet
DFG65 short Lodekka the highlight for me. Absolutely immaculate, followed by the Bristol KSW 😊
Both great preserved buses. I am always drawn to Ribble buses as that was what we had when young. But I do like Bristol's too. Merseyside Transport had some VRs but with the engine bustle, I did like them too
Thanks for sharing this video, I really enjoyed the event this year, although it is always great to be absolutely honest 😊
It is always a good event, at least it was cooler than last year. Better layout & display of buses this time too
The wallesley Atlantean at the beginning looks superb looks like a MCW body ,that’s another thing I can tell Park Royal/Roe from MCW ,I need to get out more 😂,never been a fan of plastic seats in London it’s always been moquette ,and the Mancunian in GMPTE livery looked great and no bus rally would be compleat with out an RM 😊,great video mate
Mark
Ps would love to come up as always and have a drive still got my PCV licence and tacho card up to date 😊also my CPC too
Yes you're Spot on it is a MCW body. The livery was carried by a sister bus 1789, to commemorate the Wallasey part of what was Merseyside passenger Transport Executive. Sadly that bus was scrapped. So when the owner preserved 1788 he recreated the livery. Am sure many of the drivers would be happy to let you have a drive if you asked.
@@Merseywailthat’s great all the best mate 😊
Cheers Drive that was ace. Masterful camera work and the ambient sound quality was sublime. I feel like I've had a day out in the Wirral on old buses. I'm going to watch that again.
Thanks, it would have been good if I could have actually been in the cab. It's a wonder the old driver's aren't deaf being sat right next to the engine. Mind you they do sound great
Some of those buses are still nice despite being so old but still as reliable.
They have more character than modern buses. A lot of hard work & TLC goes into restoring & running them. All credit to the owners
Sorry - what happened to the 'aviation'?
That refers to the aviation museum on site - But it wasn't really a focus.
The Hooton park site is also an aviation museum, but i was concentrating on the bus part of the event. I didn't go into the museum, partly as I was guarding on some of the buses
