Two Buses in Prescot
Image: © David Hillas Taken: 27 Mar 1971
Taken in March 1971, this photo shows two AEC Swift vehicles with Marshall 44-seater bodywork operated by St Helens Corporation Transport in Warrington Road (A57). The front vehicle is 222 (RDJ 222F) on St Helens circular route 8 via Prescot and Rainhill. This route was operated by trolleybuses until the closure of the St Helens trolleybus system on the 30th June 1958. A lamp standard which was used for trolleybus overhead wiring can be seen between the two vehicles, although these standards have long since been replaced by modern lighting standards.
