RE: Route History
(14/10/2020 20:54)Walton 46 Wrote: I've recently aquired a timetable for the Merseyrider 67 service circa 1996. This ran from Bootle Strand to Halewood Okell Drive via Merton Road, County Road, then via 68 route to Queens Drive, then Childwall Fiveways, Netherley and Gerrards Lane. What other routes were operated under the Merseyrider brand? The 67 began life as one of the original Blue Triangle services in '92 when they commercialised part of the 165 Merseytravel route they had back then. Merseybus responded with a short lived 67A which went via Broadgreen Hospital but more or less duped Blue Traingle's 67. All the varied Blue Triangle stuff went on it including the ex-MPTE Jumbo Atlantean's ex-SBG Ailsa's and Voith powered ex-South Yorkshire Alexander Atlanteans too. It must've been fairly successful as survived MTL's takeover in '94 until it was withdrawn around' 96 when Merseyrider and renaining Merseybus operations at Garston were integrated into Speke depot. The 30 was another Blue Triangle route which evetually passed on to Fareway like the 102's in '94 then Gillmoss to about the late' 90's maybe up to Arriva's takeover? |
