Old St Helen's motorbus
This preserved bus was chartered as part of a weekend to celebrate 50 years of the Liverpool University Public Transport Society. It is seen outside its current home - the North West Museum of Road Transport. This is housed in the former Hall Street tram depot, one of the few depots in the UK to have housed successively horse trams, electric trams, trolleybuses and motorbuses.

The last remaining St Helen's trolleybus is on temporary display from its normal home at the Sandtoft Transport Centre near Doncaster in the North West Museum of Road Transport. This is the former St Helen's Corporation Hall Street tram depot. Some surviving tram rail can just be seen - the last tram ran in 1934.
