1. ... In spite of its appearance, Wallasey 78 was built by Brush as late as 1920 and was the Corporation's last tram to enter service. It only operated until 1933 when their system closed. (Sat 25/7/15, Woodside Ferry, Birkenhead)

2. ... A view of two of the trams which operate in Birkenhead might be of interest, as the museum is receiving lots of publicity at the moment. Wallasey 78 and Liverpool 762 are standing in the lane near the depot before the ceremony for 245 took place. (Sat 12/9/15, Birkenhead Transport Museum)

3. HF7435 ... HF7435 was yet another AEC Regent with utility NCB body, obtained from Wallasey (their no.63), photographed leaving Fairfax Drive depot in July 1955. By this time it was probably in green livery but with Westcliff fleetname, although it does not appear to be carrying its 1954 Eastern National fleet number 1156. (Sat 16/7/55, Fairfax Drive Depot, Southend)

4. HF9126 ... Wallasey 74, HF9126, a Leyland TD7c was new in July 1940 with a Metro Cammell H28/26R body. (Sun 2/5/71, Madeira Drive, Brighton)

8. AHF199 ... This grainy picture is of a Wallasey Corporation Leyland PD1 bus with Metro-Cammell body. Registration AHF199 (Fleet No 21). It was delivered new to Wallasey in 1948 and was withdrawn from service in 1961. (August 1963, London Road, Manchester)

9. AHF371 ... Leyland PD AHF371 is obviously ex-Wallasey, but who is it with in this photo? It is rather drunkenly parked at Lower Mosley Street, Manchester. It started life as Wallasey 33, a Leyland PD1 with Metro-Cammell H28/26R body new in 1948 and was withdrawn in 1961. (Lower Mosley Street, Manchester)

10. AHF837 ... The eleven years between these two Wallasey Leylands with Metro Cammell bodies represents their transformation from traditional 7ft 6in wide Titans of 5-bay construction to (then) ultra-modern Atlanteans. Seen after takeover by Merseyside PTE in December 1969 are 41, AHF837, a PD2/1 with H30/26R body of February 1951 and 19, HHF19, a PDR1/1 / H44/33F still in Corporation livery, penultimate of thirteen all new in March 1960.

13. AHF842 ... A recent comment was made on the rear lower deck "split" on some Wallasey PD2/1s. This view shows clearly that adverts for local attractions were displayed, this example on AHF842 (Wallasey 46). (1970, Bridge Street, Birkenhead)

14. AHF849 ... Wallasey 53, AHF849, a Leyland PD2/1 with a Metro Cammell H30/26R body, one of twenty-four new in 1951, is seen at the garage on an Omnibus Touring Circle weekend visit. (Sat 9/9/67, Wallasey)

17. AHF850 ... Recent discussion regarding Wallasey's unusual rear window layout and extra rear light prompted me to submit this photo I took at the 2014 Wirral Tram and Bus Rally. Preserved Birkenhead 105, BG9225, a Massey-bodied PD1, and Wallasey 54, AHF850, the Metro Cammell-bodied PD2/1 make an interesting comparison. (Sun 5/10/14, Birkenhead)

22. FHF451 ... In this instance I suspect one can actually say that the back end of the bus is more interesting than the front. The first production Atlantean in service, FHF451, has long been restored as Wallasey 1 in the unique sea green and cream livery with vintage style of fleetname (since 1983 I believe). In the fine sunshine that blessed the Greater Manchester Transport Society's 2014 event at Heaton Park I couldn't resist a shot which shows the very early style of single piece bonnet fitted to the first Atlanteans. You can't help but notice the huge rear route display! (Sun 7/9/14, Heaton Park, Manchester)

23. FHF451 ... Wallasey 1, FHF451, like the rest of the fleet, became part of Merseyside PTE when that was formed on 1st December 1969. (Sun 2/8/81, Trans-Pennine Rally, Knaresborough Road Stray, Harrogate)

33. LHF32 ... Merseyside P.T.E. (Wallasey) 32, LHF32, an Albion Nimbus NS3N with Strachan DP31F body, new to Wallasey Corporation in 1962. (Sun 2/8/70, MPTE Wallasey Depot)
