Classic Buses Waiting for Passengers

Waiting to pick up passengers on Beamish Museum's town street are these two beautifully restored classic buses.

 

In front is a 1949 Crossley SD42/7 coach with a Burlingham body, registered FUN 319. The coach, with it's 8.6 litre Crossley engine and "crash" gearbox, belongs to Wright Bros Coaches of Nenthead in Upper Weardale who have owned it since 1959. It was on a brief visit to Beamish on 7/8 October 2017.

 

Bringing up the rear is Beamish Museum's own 1954 ex-Rotherham Corporation Daimler CVG6 (registered KET 220) with it's Weymann body, 8.4 litre Gardner engine and Wilson pre-select gearbox.
