Forums Forums Wirral Information What's On Wirral The Birkenhead Festival of Transport 17th 18th s

aw... i can't make it on Saturday..
Have fun!

Any 1 going today

i could smell the steam Engines to day from work

yerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr steam power

were going 2morrow

They must be, surely. They go to every event on Wirral. They would probably turn up to the opening of an envelope.

I may pop in to the park for a look whist I'm out and about this weekend as long as the lady friend does not gruble too much. Its absolutely pi**ing it down at the moment though.

went today, was good nice meeting Rocks, T.C. and his 3 kids there shame about the rain. didn't see any buses there.

How did you know it was them? Just curious.Lol

from pics on here seen T.C's ponytail then seen his little girl bluebell then knew it was him.

Oh,yer the ponytail is a bit of a give away. Just call me 'nosey!' Lol

I taped him on his back, and asked if he was T.C. happy he said yes I am or I would of looked like a right tool he was nice so was rocks I couldn't stop longer my niece needed the loo

yes nice to meet you to 8bitguy, we got very very wet haha

and no kev not a bus in sight!! (never one when you want one!)

Couldn't make it yesterday, so I missed the flyby.

I went today though instead, thankfully the weather was OK.



































For anyone who may be interested, I've uploaded loads more photos of the event on my website here:-

Cheers!

Thanks for these and also the website photos - looked like an enjoyable day out -thanks again

Thanks Dave, yes it was a good one this year.

I missed last year's one for some reason, the last one I'd been to was in 2009.

There certainly were many really nice cars and bikes there this year although I'm not very knowledgeable about cars or motorbikes to be honest, as rail has always been my thing. It was great though to see that the people from the Ffestiniog railway had brought some track with them!

Seeing that narrow-gauge loco going up and down the short stretch of track was the highlight for me.

First post here, recently just joined this forum after getting recommended to view it. I am really enjoying the content of it so far! Just came across this thread and thought i would chip in.

I went to this show yesterday, and it was a fab time; i am really glad the weather held off! I would have liked to see the Number 10, however i must have left before it arrived, as i was only there for the best part of the mornng just before the crowds swarmed in. I did catch a couple of quick snaps of a few Cars and Steam Motors, and a half-decent video of the Steam Motors passing by. Thought i would share this with you.

-Feel free to request the video or any of the images for me to email to you if you would like better quality rather than the WMM & Youtubes lossy compressed version.

Smashing pics. Couldn't go as it clashed with the Submariners Reunion but I got a kick out of seeing the No 10 on Duke Street, it's natural home, as I was on the way out.

Brilliant pics I couldn.t make it but seeing those pics compensated well done and thank you Paul
