The MTPS will have a stand at this year's Wirral Transport Show which takes place at Hooton Park Hangars on Sunday October 5. As usual, the annual free-to-enter show will attract families with young children as well as transport enthusiasts from throughout the North West and even further afield. Opening times are 10 am to 4 pm. 

Vintage buses which have been lovingly restored by their owners, and are garaged in the historic First World War aircraft hangars, will be out on display or giving free rides for visitors to places of local interest. Mystery bus trips are also planned. 

There are also buses invited from other organisations, plus historic commercial vehicles, classic cars and motor cycles. 

Says show organiser John Nolan who has been an organiser of the annual transport shows (formerly known as the Wirral Bus & Tram Show, and centred on Wirral Transport Museum and heritage tramway) since 1998: "This will be the second successive year this show has re-located from the Birkenhead waterfront but we are expexcting an even better turn out than last year's event which was very successful."

As well as free bus ries, there will be remote controlled vehicles, model boats on the boating lake, a model railway, plus stalls selling transport items and books. Other features include the Museum of Printing, and Wirral Amateur Radio Society. Light refreshments will be available. 

As there is very limited parking at the site, visitors with cars are requested to park in Hooton railway station's vast car park and join people coming by train by travelling to and from the show on one of the frequent free vintage buses operating a shuttle to the hangars.
