1954 Daimler CVG6/Weymann
Gleaming in the morning sunlight at Pockerley Waggonway in Beamish Museum is this magnificently restored 1954 Gardner-engined Daimler CVG6 bus.
The Weymann bodied ex-Rotherham Corporation bus took well over twenty years to restore to an extremely high standard of finish and has been a prized part of the museum's ever expanding bus fleet since 2015. The ultimate aim is to use the bus in the proposed new 1950's area of the museum, but it is already used extensively at peak times.
Those who know Rotherham will have noticed that we have taken something of a liberty with the route number, Rotherham having never had three digit route numbers.
