Preserved St. Helens Corporation Transport - 248 EDJ248J - AEC Swift 2MP2R - Marshall

This Swift was new St. Helens Corporation(248), in 05/1971, becoming Merseyside PTE 248(St. Helens series) when the St. Helens undertaking passed to MPTE control on 1st. April 1974 under local government re-organisation. It is seen here on display at the now ceased Trans-Lancs Rally, Heaton Park, Manchester, on 04/09/2005. This popular event was last held in 2019. This was due to COVID-19 and the now ever expanding summer fairground. This Swift has since received Merseyside PTE livery of Verona green and cream.
