Edge Lane Works Priestly Bogie Car #762
5 august 2012 - Birkenhead, Merseyside (UK – depot/zajezdnia Taylor Street. The Liverpool bogie tram waits at the museum entrance to carry passengers back to the ferry terminal. Trams run about every 30 minutes at weekends and the whole area is well worth a visit, being easy to reach from central Liverpool. Half a dozen old trams are already nicely restored, with more to follow.
Leyland PD2/37/Massey #152
5 august 2012 - Birkenhead, Merseyside (UK) – depot/zajezdnia Taylor Street. Two buses parked outside in the museum yard, including a Leyland PD2/37 of the local Birkenhead Corporation fleet. These Leyland PD2/37s were just about the very last front-engined, exposed radiator buses produced in the UK.
Leyland Leopard L2/Massey #93
5 august 2012 - Birkenhead, Merseyside (UK) – depot/zajezdnia Taylor Street. The north west of England was always a Leyland stronghold and many of their buses were supplied to most of the operators round here. Birkenhead was no exception – this is a rather nice 1964 Leyland Leopard with dual-door Massey bodywork.
Bristol RELL6G/ECW #ERG52
5 august 2012 - Birkenhead, Merseyside (UK) – depot/zajezdnia Taylor Street. Crosville was a major bus operator in the Merseyside/North Wales area and is represented here by this typical Bristol RELL bus of 1968. Like most buses in the Birkenhead collection, this vehicle has to work for a living and often leaves the museum on private hire duties.
Bristol KSW6B/ECW #641
5 august 2012 - Birkenhead, Merseyside (UK) – depot/zajezdnia Taylor Street. The Merseyside group houses various buses in the museum/depot building, including this 1951 Bristol KSW which is a long way from home, having originated with the Thames Valley company to the west of London.
HKT IV #69
5 august 2012 - Birkenhead, Merseyside (UK) – depot/zajezdnia Taylor Street. The Birkenhead heritage tramway started operating with two trams imported from Hong Kong, which were specially built there in 1992 to the traditional Hong Kong design and then shipped to Blackpool, where they ran briefly before coming here to Birkenhead. Now that the museum group has restored several old UK trams to run at Birkenhead, these don’t get much use. This is car #69 at the entrance to the depot.

Edge Lane Works Priestly Bogie Car #762
5 august 2012 - Birkenhead, Merseyside (UK) – Woodside. The shipyard town of Birkenhead lies just across the River Mersey from the city of Liverpool, which can be seen in the distance in this view of Woodside Ferry Terminal. Birkenhead was one of the pioneer tramway towns in UK and trams once left from here for all districts whenever one of the frequent ferry boats arrived from Liverpool. Now it is a much quieter place and trams disappeared many years ago – but have returned as part of a scheme to regenerate the Mersey docks area. A new heritage tramway operated by an enthusiast group now runs each weekend and extends for about one mile to a depot which also houses a transport museum. This rather fine bogie tram was built in Liverpool in 1931/2 to a rather old-fashioned design when compared to other 1930s trams which ran in Blackpool. After withdrawal in 1955, it became a sports pavilion until it was rescued and rebuilt in 2001.
