The municipal fleets of Birkenhead and Wallasey were absorbed into the new Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive in December 1969. The Wallasey fleet in particular had a number of ageing buses, dating back to 1951, and as an interim measure a number of former Birkenhead buses were transferred to the Wallasey depot. One of these is seen to the left, still in Birkenhead livery, but renumbered 23B. Leyland Titan PD2 with Massey bodywork, built 1959. Surprisingly a number of the 1951-built Wallasey buses were taken into the MPTE fleet, despite being nearly 20 years old, and even painted into the new Wirral Division colours. No.41 is also a Leyland Titan PD2, with Metropolitan-Cammell bodywork. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide
