Standing together on the chemist's corner on Beamish Museum town street (and no doubt sizing one another up) are these two Daimler buses of the past, both owned and used by the museum.
On the left is Roe bodied Ex-Darlington Corporation No.4, a 1964-built Daimler CCG5 registered 304 VHN, complete with a 5-cylinder Gardner engine and a "quirky" crash gearbox.
On the right is Weymann bodied Ex- Rotherham Corporation No.220, 1954-built Daimler CVG6 registered KET 220, with a six cylinder Gardner engine and a Wilson pre-select gearbox.

Continuing homage to a century of municipal public transport in Edinburgh we see Corporation Daimler leaving Central garage yard on service 5 to Morningside. This route goes back to cable car days when trams worked between Churchhill and Abbeyhill, then in the electric tram era between Morningside and Piershill before buses took over the route in 1954. Today under Lothian service 5 has been considerably extended to Hunter's Tryst in the south and The Jewel in the east.
Fleet 171, a Daimler CV6 with distinctive Gardner engine was new in 1950 and worked most routes until withdrawal in 1965 although some of its compatriots continued another few years. The garage is now not far from its own centenary. It was originally the Central Industrial Hall but was purchased for buses in 1925, directly replacing Henderson Row depot. A capacity of 85 was soon exceeded and by 1948 further space required at nearby McDonald Road. However several extensions over the years, most notably in 1963 has enabled the capacity to increase to over 230 the additional space allowing closure of two old depots and in recent years Head Office facilities have moved here.
Note the advert for Corn Flakes by Kellogg of Battle Creek, then on left a BP oil tanker replenishing the fuel tanks and note the crews inside the Daimler - most probably getting a lift to the North Bridge.
"And I'm telling you that's an ex Midland Red Fleetline..."
And a rather nice one as well. Bakewell, 15/06/2014.
VSN 512J saw the departure of half cab AEC deckers and all that came before,being the first of four rear engined full fronted motors bought for the west of the Gareloch stage carriage services. What set them apart from most was that the fares were collected by Clippies leaving the driver to do just that, drive.
In enthusiast circles, the Gash of Newark business became famous for it's retention of a quartet of elderly half cab Daimler double deckers. Not too far away Blue Bus had done similarly but sadly a garage fire had put payed to the last of theirs. By the time of this deregulation era shot, I remember being most surprised to see one of the Gash Massey bodied CVD6s undergoing some form of repair at the garage though I suspect by this time it was a 'pet'. Through the sheeting to the left, the outline of an AEC Routemaster can just be made out which will help someone date the shot I'm sure.
Aberdeen No 162 crosses the railway in the main street. One of ten 1951 Daimler CVG6 rebodied in 1960 by Alexander , these were certainly kept in immaculate condition. 31/8/71.
By late 1983 there weren't many half-cab buses left outside of London. In December 1983 Thamesdown operated this 1967 Daimler CVG6 (I think by this time normally confined to school work) on a couple of rural services one Saturday, as they recognised that by then it was a bit of a celebrity. Luckily we were blessed with good weather.
It wasn't really a particularly old bus, but one-man operation had made such vehicles prematurely redundant.
This is the terminus at Ashbury.
Waiting for their turn at the auction, LeMay Family Collection Open House at Marymount campus, Spanaway, Washington.
Looks pretty solid, but the right side has some body damage.
By way of something a little different again, here's another offering from an elderly sketch book of mine. Typical in may ways of my lack of commitment to almost any illustration I started, the subject is reasonably acceptable I think, but the suggestion of background just doodled on any old how. It's not intended to be any particular place within Stoke on Trent, merely representitive of the surroundings therein.
KVT 197E was the first of a trio of un-loved Daimler Roadliner SRC6 Plaxton Panorama 1 bodied coaches delivered in 1967... their stay in the fleet was uncharacteristically short. For the record, PMT were the worlds largest user of Daimler's Roadliner, a situation brought about by the friendship of the Chief Engineer with the Daimler designer.

Another negative I'd had little joy with scanning in the past until finally this semi reasonable one happened along. The original conditions were grim in the extreme and that comes over quite well here!
One of Stonier's trio of excellent ex South Yorkshire PTE Alexander bodied Daimler Fleetlines (NWA 263K ... the best of) stops to deposit and load passengers at the erstwhile Dawlish Drive shops, Bentilee. So far as I know, the entire complex was demolished and replaced, but here the flats above still seem to be in use as such. In the interim, the accommodation was dispensed with and the windows seen here above the shops panelled over. From memory the church in the background is St. Stephen's.
The Bentilee (Bucknall, Stoke on Trent) council estate, once the country's largest, was a hotbed of bus competition and was served my a mass of services which looped around the principal thoroughfares and also by some through routes. From the 1960s to the 1980s PMT and Stoniers were the major providers and many a story could be told about competitiveness!.
Seen on the bus depot forecourt at Beamish Museum - and sporting a brand new coat of paint - is AHN 451B, a 1964 Roe-bodied Daimler CCG5, part of a batch of twelve purchased new by Darlington Corporation in that year and allocated No.7 in their fleet. The bus was withdrawn in 1981 and went immediately into preservation.
Oddly the first half of the batch (No's 1 - 6) were given 301-6 VHN registrations, and the other six (No's 7 -12) were registered AHN 451-6B. All had Gardner 5LW engines and constant mesh gearboxes, which didn't exactly make them fleet of foot! However, Darlington does not have any hills and the buses did not see service outside of the town boundary, so they were very adequate plodders.
AHN 451B is owned by Aycliffe and District Bus Preservation Society.
Providing a backdrop, on the left is part of a 1964 Marshall-bodied Atkinson Alpha of Sunderland Corporation. Behind is a 1964 AEC Routemaster of Northern General, PCN 762.

One of Stalybridge Corpn's heavy-looking Daimler CVD6 with Northern Counties bodies - No.61 from 1952 leaves Ashton's bus stn on 3/8/70.
Something a wee bit different and this lovely vintage shot wasn't taken by me but I bought it with copyright and it's a fine picture of a bus with which I was to become acquainted. VKV99 was the Daimler CVG6-30 demonstrator and toured many operators in the late 1950s and early 1960s beofre joining the fleet of McGill of Barrhead where it became a long standing member of the fleet. It had Willowbrook bodywork. Here it is seen during it's demonstration life in Leeds on loan to Leeds City Transport who subsequently ordered some so it must have acquitted itself well.
EGP 33J passing over the level crossing next to Stanford-le-Hope Station in Essex.
This Daimler Fleetline with Park Royal Bodywork is part of Ensignbus's heritage fleet.
Posing in the sun at Burslem on the 'Hanley Finale' running day is this rare beast - a preserved Bournemouth Corporation Daimler Roadliner.
I remember when some of them were hired to London Country in the mid-70s and certainly went on at least one then. Whilst the Roadliner doesn't have a good reputation, there was nothing wrong with this one. It was quiet, fast and smooth riding - and there was no bodywork rattle either. There were also no internal steps - 'low floor' buses aren't so new after all. Not bad for a 1967 vehicle!.
