1928 SOS QL
Resting serenely in the corner of the bus depot at Beamish Museum is this beautiful 1928 Northern General SOS QL ("Queen"-class, Low) bus .
The Friends of Beamish Museum spent well over twenty years restoring this magnificent "Queen"-type bus, No.338 (UP 551) of the Northern General fleet. The 37-seat bus is of a BMMO design by Brush and was the first of 65 supplied to Northern General Transport. It remained in service until 1950.
Northern General was one of the few companies outside the West Midlands to use this BMMOC-built vehicle in significant numbers and, in 1928, was the largest user of SOS buses other than Midland Red itself.
