Wedding Bus in Liverpool

Someone has contacted me to request use of a Routemaster at a wedding in March 2012 in Liverpool. Can anyone help directly or by suggesting a company that might be able to offer this service?

My bus number (if any): RM 577

Re: Wedding Bus in Liverpool

Contact Helms of Eastham/Aintree Coachlines, its the same firm. They provide a wedding routemaster service in the Merseyside area, I can personally vouch for them as I hired one of their RMs for my own wedding six years ago. Very friendly and helpful, and they decorated the bus nicely too.

Many thanks Steve.

Re: Wedding Bus in Liverpool

Didn't Helms sell their RM to Ensign recently (and then go to Wales to be swapped with RM25??)

Anyway, Routemaster Buses in Crewe would do Liverpool I would have thought.

(Surprise that Andy H hasn't already suggested them!!)

My bus number (if any): RM1414 (sort of)

Re: Wedding Bus in Liverpool

They had two RMs and retained one. So I assume that RM1289 is still available.

My bus number (if any): RM1368

Re: Wedding Bus in Liverpool

Correct, 1289 is still available, and is the one I hired!
(Eastham in Wirral is nearer to Liverpool than Crewe so may be a more cost effective option regarding mileage)

My bus number (if any): RM531

Re: Wedding Bus in Liverpool

Sorry Chaps haven't been on line recently..

Would be very happy to quote, 25% of our work comes from the Wirral/Liverpool..
