Buses at Seacombe Ferry Bus Station
This photo, taken in October 1969, shows Leyland Atlantean 9 (HHF 9) with Metro-Cammell 77-seater bodywork dating from 1960 about to leave Seacombe Ferry Bus Station on route 1 to New Brighton. This vehicle was one of thirty Leyland Atlanteans delivered to Wallasey Corporation between 1958 and 1961. Their Metro-Cammell bodywork can be recognised by the two-piece windscreen and the rectangular air-vent on the upper front dome. A Leyland Titan with Metro-Cammell 56-seater bodywork can be seen in the distance to the left of the photo. The buses of Wallasey Corporation were transferred to the Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive on the 1st December 1969. Arriva North West now operate most of the bus services in the Wallasey area.

Buses at Seacombe Ferry Terminal ? 1970
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.
