Arriva Merseyside, established in 2000 through the acquisition of MTL Trust Holdings, emerged as the largest operator in the Liverpool City region, accounting for approximately 70 percent of bus services in the area. This strategic move expanded Arriva North West's operations to include Birkenhead, Gillmoss, Green Lane, Huyton, Southport, Speke, and St Helens, effectively consolidating its presence in the region. In his book, Simon Ackers delves into the evolving fleet profile of Arriva Merseyside. The journey spans from the former London Titans and PTE Atlanteans to a predominantly single-deck fleet, followed by a resurgence of double-deck purchases and the introduction of hybrid and zero-emission buses. Accompanied by informative comments for each image, the reader is invited to reminisce and explore over twenty years of Arriva Merseyside's operational history.
