Unlike other PTE's which set up a coaching division Merseyside PTE only had a small fleet for coachwork. No. 7003 was a single Leyland Leopard which was fitted with a Duple Dominant 'Express' body and whose driver with arms folded seemed to be going nowhere as it took it's turn to leave a busy Digbeth whilst on hire to National Express and bound for Southport..
Ah, the 15:00 connection! A worthy successor to its Cheltenham predecessor, with coaches from all conceivable operators going pretty much everywhere in the country. Something the likes of which we'll almost certainly never see again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ross, actually it was the mid-day mass departure on a Friday which was always very busy.
