The MTT's collection of former Liverpool Corporation Buses, ranging from one of the first post war AECs right though to the last bus delivered to the Corporation in 1969, is probably the country's most representative preserved collection from a municipal bus fleet.
The collection also includes a growing number of buses from the Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive (MPTE) fleet which operated most of the bus services on Merseyside between December 1969 and October 1986 and the MPTE's successors Merseybus, MTL and Arriva. In addition to these, we also have a couple of former Crosville Motor Services buses, Crosville being at one time a large operator on Merseyside.

BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY 4th JUNE (note: change of date): OPEN DAY AT BURSCOUGH.
This will be your first chance to see our new premises
on the Burscough Industrial Estate, and, for the first
time in over a decade, to view our entire collection!
The old hangars and the track leading to them had
become unsafe for public access, so our "non-runners"
had been hidden from public view for many years.
This will be a great new opportunity to see the buses,
purchase your memorabilia and maybe even have a
ride or two. Watch this space.....
If you would like to bring your own bus to this event,
or have a trade stand you would like to bring, please
click one of these links to download an application form.
Then, simply fill it in and post it to the address on
the form.....

We will also be taking some of our buses to other events. Again, details will be posted on our "Events" page as they become available.
We look forward to seeing you.........
