I’m a Londoner but my favourite places and people in the UK are in Merseyside.

the bus that the people were getting off was either a Metro-Scania single-decker or its double-deck cousin, the Metopolitan and, as for the following scene with buses turning, that was filmed at Towerlands Street, no longer open to traffic.

Not many dark faces back then. All very different now of course.
