Annual Easter running day for Merseyside heritage transport charity

The Merseyside Transport Trust (MTT) will be holding its’ Easter running day event on Sunday 5^th April to raise funds for the upkeep of its’ fleet of over 50 vintage vehicles.

This is a rare and unique opportunity to enjoy a ride on some of buses in our collection. The event is also aimed to attract new members, volunteers, sponsorship & generate interest within the community.

This year’s event will feature services between Liverpool, Pier Head – Mann Island, Page Moss & around the surrounding areas. Buses will run on original routes serving Prescot Road, West Derby Road and Edge Lane corridors with a 1960’s theme.

A souvenir programme & guide to the day will be available for just £4 and any donations you would like to make to the group would be most welcome.

Steve Kelly, Chairman of The MTT is leading the event & has been involved with the group for over 30 years. Steve said: ‘’this event is becoming more popular as we only ever used to bring one vehicle out on Easter Day. We take advantage of quieter roads and a day generally where people tend not to get up to much, so they come & see us instead! We have been consistently attracting large numbers which is encouraging for a small charity and always looking at ways to make this event a bigger success. All funds raised at the event will go a long way in helping to keep our collection safe for the future. We rely totally on donations & the good nature of people.’’

Buses run generally every 45 minutes starting around 10:00am from Mann Island & Page Moss and will observe all normal bus stops along the routes. ots-MTT News 63 For more information see our website www.mttrust.co.uk , ‘like’ us on Facebook (Merseyside Transport Trust) or contact Lee Wolfe, PR officer on 07909994158.
