Merseymaid/Silver Service
Merseymaid and Silver Service were brand names for cross-river double-deck Merseybus services between Liverpool and the Wirral. Initially Willowbrook-bodied Leyland Atlantean (1847) and five Alexander R-Type Leyland Olympians (0064-0068) which had been based at Liverpool's Green Lane depot were refurbished at the Edge Lane works with soft trim and coach seats in November 1992 and operated on route 410 & 411 Eastham - Liverpool. At the end of 1995 this operation was augmented with a batch of 36 Volvo Olympian/Northern Counties Palatine IIs with similar features and used on the other cross-river services. Silver Service branding was dropped inconspicuously during 1998.

Of cloudy silver sprinkles in your gown
