Official synopsis Publisher
Arriva Merseyside was created in 2000, when Arriva purchased MTL Trust Holdings, becoming and remaining the largest operator in the Liverpool City region and providing approximately 70 per cent of the bus services in the area. The acquisition moved Arriva North West from depots situated in just Bootle and Runcorn to include Birkenhead, Gillmoss, Green Lane, Huyton, Southport, Speke and St Helens.
In this book Simon Ackers looks at the changing profile of the Arriva Merseyside fleet. From the ex-London Titans and ex-PTE Atlanteans to nearly all single-deck vehicles preceding a return to double-deck purchases and hybrid and zero-emission buses. With informative comments accompanying each image, the reader can reminisce and travel through over twenty years of operation.
