This item has a limited edition certificate included.

In 1932 there suddenly appeared on the London streets a revolutionary new design with a full front and seats in position where orthodox passenger vehicles had engines. An entirely new design of chassis was evolved by AEC at Southall, with the engine positioned on the offside frame member behind the front axle. After the success of the single deck Q with L.G.O.C. and provincial operators, the L.P.T.B. ordered 102 4Q4 type for the Country Area bus work which entered service throughout 1935. Although far ahead of its time, the Q Type was only in production for 4 years but it paved the way for the underfloor engined type so much in evidence today.

BXD 528, Q7 is featured in original prewar Country area livery with 37 seat bodywork by the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company. It was allocated to Watford Garage and remained with L.P.T.B. until August 1953.

AEC Regent V/Roe "Samuel Ledgard"
More than 25 in stock

This item has a limited edition certificate included.

Samuel Ledgards’s blue buses operated between Bradford, Otley, Harrogate and Leeds. Ledgard’s empire, based at the Nelson Hotel, where he was the publican and brewer, started with haulage in 1906 and grew to include outside catering and a quarry business. He ran his first bus in 1912 and ran a charabanc with an interchangeable body (U 1949) to Blackpool and Scarborough in 1913. After the war, his business grew with the acquisition of other companies, retained as legally separate subsidiaries in Company livery. Samuel died in 1952, and the Company continued for a further 15 years under the control of the executors, finally being sold in October 1967. Samuel always bought new Leylands, so the executors’ choice of six Roe bodied AEC Regent Vs was surprising at the time. The first of these was registered 1949 U, recalling Sam’s first chara. The Samuel Ledgard Society has erected a blue plaque on the Nelson, where Sam was publican for 54 years. Destination 1 – Leeds via Otley. Destination 2 – Ilkley via Guiseley.

Route: Senacre Wood

Maidstone Corporation had a history which could be traced back over 90 years, having operated trams from 1904 until 1928. Trolleybuses then replaced them on two of the three routes, until closure in 1967. Motor buses were introduced in 1928. Crew operation had ceased in November 1976 with the withdrawal of Leyland PD2s. After deregulation in 1986 the Corporation owned bus company was facing more competition in its own operating area and saw an expansion into the London contract market as the answer. In mid 1987 contracts were gained for the 132, 228A/C, (later the 228, 328 and the 233) in the Eltham area as part of the Bexley scheme. A new, bold blue and yellow image was introduced in the sprint of 1990, so that Boro'line Maidstone buses were conspicuous among red buses as far away as Euston Station. Ex Southdown 'Queen Mary' BUF 278C was reregistered 217 UKL and given the fleetnumber 290 and used on British Rail contract work.

MCW Metrobus MkI DD in red livery "London Transport"
More than 25 in stock

This item has a limited edition certificate included.

The Metrobus, manufactured by Metropolitan Cammell Weymann in Birmingham, was the next volume purchase by London Transport of new double deck buses after the DMS. With LT running Metropoltans from the same manufacturrer, they took a demonstrator on loan at the end of 1977. This resulted in a trial of 5 vehicles running in 1978/9 that was successful so orders were placed for significant numbers that were progressively introduced from 1979. The production vehicles could be distinguished from the trial vehicles as they had smaller, Routmaster style, bling boxes. LT considered the MKII version by trialling a pair against Leyland Olympian, Dennis Dominator and Volvo B55 types. A third Metrobus MKII was also due for delivery as a MKIII prototype but never materialised, like the MKIII Metrobus itself. Apart from a number of single door MKII's for Harrow and a few secondhand vehicles bought from the north of England, the LT fleet was all MKI with the asymmetrical windscreen design. The LT Metrobus fleet went on to total 1,485 with LT becoming the biggest customer for the Metrobus, even beating West Midlands Travel in whose territory the Metrobus was built. M331 ended its London service running for London General.

The new combined brand WA Shearings was launched in September with publication of the Summer 2006 brochure and a repaint of the entire fleet was carried out during the winter. The results from customer focus groups, which were used to provide ideas for the new identity, showed a strong preference for retention of blue as the base colour.

Felix Bus Services was started in 1922 by Mr Norman Frost, operating a Crossley lorry to carry coal during the week, and after adding seats to the rear of the vehicle, carrying miners and their families at weekends. He operated from Stanley village, between Derby and Ilkeston, and when many asked what he would call his first coach, he decided to use the name Felix from the popular song of the day ‘Felix Kept on Walking’. The first coaches were mainly Crossley lorry chassis with passenger bodies by Yeates or Willowbrook of Loughborough, and a black cat emblem was applied to the body sides. In 1937, a new garage was built on Station Rd, Stanley, and the operating centre is still in use today. The present fleet includes Scania, Volvo and Optare service buses and Volvo and Iveco coaches. A full holiday programme to most UK resorts and the continent is operated each year, together with a variety of interesting excursions. The Plaxton Paragon coach was purchased in March 2006, it is fitted with 53 seats and full air conditioning, and is used for the holiday tours and excursions programme.

More than 25 in stock

This item has a limited edition certificate included.

Plaxton has been trading in Scarborough since 1907, initially in construction but soon after became heavily involved in vehicle Coachbuilding. The business developed rapidly in the post war era, capitalising on the boom in travel which followed the austerity period of the forties. By the early 1960’s, Plaxton had become the second largest coachbuilder in the UK and with the launch of the highly acclaimed Panorama and Elite ranges, moved into the number one spot by 1970, a position it has sustained ever since. By 1990, the company had moved from a publicly quoted company, largely under control of the founding family, to merge with the Henlys Motor Group making it one of the UK’s largest publicly quoted automotive companies. The model and market range had by this stage expanded to include buses and a takeover of Northern Counties in Wigan added double deck buses to the portfolio for the first time, making complete the already comprehensive range. Expansion saw ventures in the US and Canada acquired by Henlys, some in partnership with Volvo. A further change of ownership came in 2000 when Henlys merged their UK bus operations with those of the Mayflower Corporation to form Transbus International and a subsequent internal restructure which consolidated bus production in plants in Scotland and the north west. Scarborough became a dedicated coach plant once again, setting new standards for production and innovation in the industry. Major developments in lean manufacture, accessible vehicles and supply chain all contributed to the success of the venture in this period. The collapse of Mayflower saw a management buyout of the Plaxton operations in 2004, subsequently the company entered into a period which can be seen as one of the most rapidly developing in it’s history.

These eyecatching Trident Double Deckers were launched on 7th February 2005 and were fully operational on First's Torpoint service 80/81 in March 2005. The vehicles were the result of a successful Urban Bus Challenge bid submitted by Plymouth City Council, supported by Cornwall County Council and were jointly funded by the Department for Transport and FirstGroup plc.
The buses provide an enhanced service for commuters travelling from South East Cornwall to Plymouth via the Torpoint Ferry. The striking design was the result of extensive market research carried out by FirstGroup plc and has been well received by regular customers on the service.
The buses were named by local schoolboy Jack Jerrard, after birds which can be seen around the Tamar Estuary; Spoonbill, Egret, Cormorant, Swan & Heron. The vehicles are 13ft high and weigh 11620kgs unladen and the body was manufacturered by East Lancashire Coachbuilders (Trident 2). The engine is a Cummins ISC Euro 3 Six cylinder turbocharged, they have a fully automatic gearbox. The vehicles seat 78 passengers or 75 with one wheelchair.
