The 201 Bus Group’s former Wallasey Corporation Transport 1 FHF 451, a Leyland Atlantean PDR1/1 built 1958 with a Metropolitan-Cammell H44/33F body on Shore Road in Birkenhead by the Pacific Road junction taking part in the Wirral Transport Museum’s 100 years of Wallasey Corporation Transport event passing The Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society Limited’s former Wallasey Corporation Tramways 78, a Brush Electrical Engineering Company Limited tram with a The J.G. Brill Company 21E truck, two motors and Dick, Kerr & Company Limited DB1 controllers with a Brush Electrical Engineering Company Limited H40/24R body built 1920 standing on the reserved track. Sunday 9th April 2023
Note, 78 was originally operated by Wallasey Corporation as number 78, a Brush Electrical Engineering Company Limited tram with a Peckham Truck & Engineering Company Limited P22 truck, two Brush Electrical Engineering Company Limited 1210J 45 horsepower motors and Brush Electrical Engineering Company Limited 8B controllers with a Brush Electrical Engineering Company Limited H42/24R body built 1920. It was withdrawn from service in 1933 (Wallasey Corporation’s tramway closed on 30th November). The remaining trams, including 78 were sold for scrap by Grahamsleys of Newcastle upon Tyne in March 1934. 78 was one of many bodies sold to a North Wales dealer later in 1934 who sold 78’s saloon to a North Wales farmer for use as a farmyard store. The saloon was acquired by the Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society in 1985 who rebuilt it using an upper deck recovered from Welshpool, a The J.G. Brill Company 21E truck and two motors acquired from Lisbon, Portugal, and Dick, Kerr & Company Limited DB1 controllers motors. The Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society’s operations passed to The Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society Limited in February 2002 and 78’s restoration to working order was completed in August 2002
FHF 451 was originally operated by Wallasey Corporation as number 1. Wallasey Corporation’s operations were transferred to the Wirral division of the Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive on 1st December 1969. FHF 451 was renumbered 201 in 1970, was withdrawn from service in 1977 and stored at Edge Lane works in Liverpool until 1979 when it was acquired for preservation by the 201 Bus Group

Wolverhampton was home to Guy Motors, but they could be persuaded to buy no more than two Wulfrunians. To make them even more distinctive they carried the only East Lancs bodies ever purchased by that operator; East Lancs bodied three other Wulfrunians, two for Accrington and one for West Wales.
The building of the pub on the corner of Fryer Street still stands, although I'm not sure of its current use.
For the 1957 model year, the Imperial received its own platform, setting it apart from any other division of Chrysler. This would last through the 1966 model year. Imperials during this period were substantially wider, both inside and out, than other Mopars, with front and rear shoulder room equal to 64.0 in (1,626 mm) and 62.0 in (1,575 mm) respectively.
Unlike the rest of the Chrysler Corporation makes (Chrysler, De Soto, Dodge, and Plymouth), that began unibody construction for 1960, the Imperial retained separate full perimeter frames for rigidity through the 1966 model year. These substantial frames had a box cross-section with crossmembers forming an "X". The driveshaft passed through a hole in the "X" frame.
Production was moved from the traditional Jefferson Avenue Assembly plant in Detroit to an exclusive facility on Warren Avenue, north of the Jefferson Avenue factory. Other than a toothy new grill and revisions to side trim little changed in terms of exterior styling for the 1959 model year. A new option was the "Silvercrest" roof which featured a stainless steel front with a rear canopy that could be ordered either in any of the basic car colors or in the "Landau" version which had a black canopy with the appearance of leather.
The Hemi V8 was replaced with the less expensive 413 cu in (6.8 L) "Wedge" head V8 engine that nevertheless had more horsepower and weighed 101 lbs less, improving the power-to-weight ratio. For the model year 17,710 Imperials were produced, ahead of Lincoln, as the Packard luxury brand withdrew from the marketplace. The few Ghia-built 1959 Imperial Crown limousines continued to use the 392 cubic-inch Hemi, due to slow production. These cars got the 413 engine for 1960.

A rear entrance PD2 in the traditional livery in March 1973. At the time I think the 49 might have been the only route to retain crew operation. Others had gone one man, often surprisingly using front-entrance PD2s, which also surprisingly survived for a long time.
A Brighton Hove & District Fleetline can be seen creeping up behind - demonstrating the fact that they were in the same livery! However by this time both were changing - corporation buses were going blue and white and BH&D were going green. Initially this had been nice Southdown green and cream - but this soon changed to dismal National green.
Note the Jolyon tea shop!
In September 1973, before West Yorkshire municipal operators were swallowed up into the West Yorkshire PTE.
