Last Saturday I was up in scouseland to attend the AGM of the Tramway and Light Railway Society which was held at the Wirral Transport Museum in Birkenhead. Upon arrival at the museum and upon presentation of our membership card we were issued with a day ticket giving access to the museum and as many tram rides we wanted on the Heritage Tramway.
Not having visited the Liverpool/Birkenhead area before I decided to take the Mersey Ferry across to Birkenhead which deposited me at one end of the heritage tramway. Just as I got off the ferry the Birkenhead Open-Topper arrived which was photographed after arriving at the museum:
Also operating that day was the Liverpool Baby Grand:
and the Wallasey Open Balcony Double-Decker:
Not operating that day were the following trams which, of course, never ran in service in the Liverpool/Wirral area:
There were some more trams inside the museum but it was rather difficult to get any decent photographs.
All in all it was a worthwhile trip to attend the AGM, see the museum and ride all the trams in operation that day although it did mean an early catching the 06:02 Southeastern High Speed up to London to arrive in Liverpool by 10:10. Weather was grotty all the way but the sun came out soon after arriving at Liverpool. Great day!!
