Generally the idea was that the vehicle would work through, but there were odd examples of vehicles returning whence they'd come. For example - a substitute vehicle may be of a type with which the 'other' driver was unfamiliar. On one memorable occasion, a Crosville driver was - shall we be...

All stops in Merseyside (and yes, for the pedants, only those on the roads it actually serves, so not like, literally EVERY stop in the metropolitan county!) - but limited stop in Lancashire. Attached, a screen shot from the latest timetable - available here - detailing stopping points

Nice to see this particularly meaningless section on page 2 of the 22/22A timetable. [image shows a heading 'What's changed' with the text 'Unchanged' below] I also note that the new Wirral Map does not show hourly service 453.

This glorious Rover 90 (P4) - new in May 1955 according to the DVSA - in Southport this afternoon.

Typically, 'Highbridge' double deckers - i.e. with a central gangway upstairs - were around 14' 6". Several manufacturers offered 'Lowbridge' designs - generally with a sunken offside gangway upstairs - which were typically around 13' 6" in height. 'Lowbridge' designs had two significant...

The 407 doesn't need to extend to West Kirby. West Kirby / Hoylake / Meols to Birkenhead passengers have got the 438, as well as an excellent rail service through Birkenhead and continuing on to Liverpool. And connectivity has been added to the network through the 483, which links West Kirby...
