    Following on from the success of the first four years’ operation starting in 2012, the Merseyside Transport Trust (MTT) is pleased to announce that it will once again be operating circular open top tours of Southport during the holiday season of 2018. These tours will be provided entirely by volunteers using historic vehicles.

    Starting from the tradition location of Southport Pier, the tours will operate as a free-of-charge circular service taking in the sights of Southport that have on a tour that has proved a popular tourist attraction for many decades. Ensuring that the tours continue operating has proved to be very popular with Southport locals, families and tourists alike; since their first year extra journeys have been added to cope with increased demand and popularity.

    Picking up where Arriva left off in 2011, the tours are to be operated using historic Leyland Atlanteans that have been operating these tours in past years and are now in preservation; 1449 (GKA 449L) and 1551 (OLV 551M).
    A closed top vehicle will be substituted in adverse weather conditions.

    The tours take in such beautiful Southport attractions as the Marine Lake, Marine Bridge, Royal Birkdale Golf Course, Lord Street Boulevard, Victoria Park & Pontins.

    The operation of the tours will commence on Sunday 29th July 2018 and will operate on every Sunday through to Sunday 26th August 2018. Departures are timetabled for 12:00, 13:00, 14:00 and 15:00 hours from Southport Pier, in front of the carousel.
    Under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult.
    For more information, please consult the MTT’s website at: www.mttrust.co.uk.

    In hindsight,the council should have done this open top bus service for the past 2 months,because now the schools have closed for the next 6 weeks,we are now guaranteed to have at least 3 to 4 weeks of wet weather until they go back to school in September.................Again the council are too late...............................Doh !
