Rare willowbrook bodied Dennis Dominator at the Pier Head. This bus is now undergoing restoration by the Merseyside Transport Trust, details of which can be found by clicking on the MTT link on the right and side of the home page.

Merseysides love affair with the Titan didn't start with the ex London examples. BCK706R was taken on extended hire in the 70s and gained full MPTE livery. It recieved fleet number 0029 for its stay. Here it is seen whilst still to dual door configuration. At some point during its stay on Merseyside it was converted to single door although wheather Leyland did this or Hodge Lane works is unknown. MPTE cancelled their Titan orders when the Park Royal factory ran into difficulty and continued to buy Atlanteans.

0035 was one of fifteen Dennis Dominators purchased for evaluation

Before placing orders with Volvo for the Ailsa chassis, this Derby example with Marshall bodywork was hired and painted in full MPTE livery for a spell. It opeated on the Wirral division

Unsuccesful buses were the Quest 80s as seen here by 0084 though they can claim to be the very first true low floor buses.
