Wirral Transport Museum - SNL 824 - 02/06/2012 16:36
DVG487 was operating the 15 at new Brighton today. I was the only passenger for my journey - though there were a couple of people taking photos. It's probably going to be DFG38 tomorrow.

So it's a Crosville weekend how over the bank holiday and weekends coming up
Birkenhead 93
Crosville ERG52
Wallasey 54
Do the day was the VR two man operated like all the Wirral Museums normal work and where does it terminate at Harrison Drive is it outside the flats or somewhere else
RE: Wirral Transport Museum - SNL 824 - 02/06/2012 20:37
It was three man operated! The Harrison Drive terminus is at the deadend right at the end of the prom.

Ah not really a stop it would make sence stopping by the flats then coming back via Grove Rd this way the Elderly can get to Morrisons
And 3 man operated how does this work?
RE: Wirral Transport Museum - SNL 824 - 02/06/2012 22:08
I guess it's aimed at tourists. As for 3 man, the same as 2 man, but with an extra body! There wasn't exactly a lot for anyone other than the driver to do.

Strangely, today was my first ride on a Crosville VR in about 30 years. Never bothered with VRs at running days because they're "too new". Really enjoyed it. Thinking back my last ride on a VR was probably First WN Penzance to Helston in about 2005.

Strangely no service on 15 today - don't know why.

Yeah I waited an hour from 11:50 to 12:50 no sign so eventually rang Merseytravel who had no clue what the 15PR service was, so I played detective along with a group of other potential passengers to go and find the answer from the Transport Museum, their excuse was ... wait for it ... "It's not running because it's raining". I simply couldn't believe it!

To be honest that's no excuse if it rains if these buses run the Wirral Bus & Tram Show and other events in the rain why not this service
