It really was a cracking day Paul. The buses & tram looking superb. Am sure there were a few double takes from the people of Wallasey
Yes it was, they are always great events
The first Atlantean bus featured in this video is not an original Wallasey Bus, at least not in in it's original livery! As you can see the Bus is S registered, late 70s I believe. The yellow livery ended around 1970 as I remember, when they changed to Blue and Cream with Birkenhead Corp and later they went to Green and Cream similar to Liverpool. The original Wallasey Leyland Atlanteans were first introduced between 1959/61 and were indeed yellow (sea green) and cream and were the first ever production Atlanteans seen anywhere. Two of the first batch are shown in this video, one yellow one Blue.
You wait ages for a number 2 bus, then they all come at once ;)
