The Hooton Vintage bus & aviation Running day, Preserved vintage buses operating services around south Wirral & cheshire. With buses from Crosville, Ribble, Chester, London transport, Merseyside transport among others.
@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
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
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
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.
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
