Still (2020) in use as a bus depot by Arriva, although the sheds seen in this view have been demolished and it is now an open parking area. The bus is the archetypal bus of the Birkenhead fleet of the late 50s and early 60s, being a Leyland PD2 with bodywork by Massey Bros of Wigan. Birkenhead Transport was Massey's largest customer over the year. No.68 was one of the batch delivered in 1962.
