personalities

Today, it was the Merseyside Transport Trust's annual Running Day. But rather than concentrate on the excellent vintage buses running a selection of vintage routes all over particularly modern parts of south Liverpool, I thought it better to show some of the personalities and people of the bus enthusiast variety.......

Penny Lane people, cameras at the ready

"My girlfriend dumped me for a train spotter"

A lost soul from an abandoned Care In The Community project.

The floor at Liverpool South Parkway.

The 66B bus to Woolton was two minutes and forty seconds late. Chaos!

On old buses, dogs have their own seats ahead of humans.

"I want me mam!"

"You may have seen me in a porn film?"

The loneliness of the short-distance bus spotter......

The day-release patients had another 1054 seconds of seeing the world as it really is before their next bout of medication.

Your man here was taking photographs of the vintage advertisements on this bus.

There was an extensive service of buses back to Funny Farm from Woolton today.

And to finish off, here's a little video I put together on You Tube.....

For the first time in many years, I felt like I was going through the motions here today. Maybe it was because this was the second rally I'd been to in a week. Or probably that it's much the same this time as it was last year. And the year before. And the year before that. Etc. Etc......
