Market Place, Bishop Auckland, Co. Durham

There can't be many buses that looked smarter and more well proportioned than this ex Leicester City Transport, Metro-Cammell bodied Daimler CSG6-30, seen here in the ownership of Lockeys of Evenwwod, Co. Durham. The CSG6 with its synchromesh gearbox made the type unpopular with some drivers, the more conventional pre-selector, or semi-automatic gearbox'd CVG6's being a more preferred choice.

 

UJF182 was exported into Europe after withdrawal, the vehicle registration being later reissued to a recovery truck.
