Historical Derby Fleet List DERBY BOROUGH TRANSPORT HISTORICAL FLEET LIST This list is not complete - Please email any additions or corrections to this list - thanks! Some notes on Derby's fleet numbering may be helpful. The prewar motorbus series reached 73, and the first wartime utility bus (a solitary Bristol K) took the fleet number 74. The series then reverted to 1, with 1-21 being Daimler and Guy utilities. By 1949, however, the new series was 'catching up' with the earlier prewar numbers, hence the jump from 41 to 75 to avoid duplication. This series then continued right up to 315, delivered in 1981; lowheight double deckers and coaches were numbered in separate series, as were the four Daimlers acquired secondhand from Halifax. A new series for new-generation double deckers was begun in 1978 by Foden NC number 101. Trolleybuses followed on from the tram series, with the first one (79) arriving in 1932; the series then continued unbroken to 243 of 1960. The motorbus series nearly caught up with the trolleybus numbers in 1966, but the complete withdrawal of trolleybus services in 1967 eliminated this problem. Trolleybuses F/No Reg.

    News No. 7 - DECEMBER 2019 Our photo this time is from the official collection of Charles Roberts, the Wakefield-based builders of bodywork for buses, trams, lorries, railway rolling stock and lots more. Here are four Albion Valkyrie PW65 with 35-seat rear entrance bodies, part of a large order in 1932 for MacShanes of Bootle who had recently expanded into stage carriages services. Many of these vehicles would see further service with Red and White Services, which had been appointed temporary managers of MacShanes before the business passed to Ribble in 1933. Wishing all our Readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2020! HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS ISSUE incorporating Coach Cruising with Southdown Helping the Chatham restoration Pilchers Coaches Sentinel Steam and Early Aerial Post Page 1 New Arrivals It’s been a busy time at The Bus Archive; lots of people both in the industry and enthusiasts have been responding to us by donating lots and lots of new (old) material… Peter Greaves has decided to downsize his collection and has donated his work on local operators around Oldham, Lancashire and detailed records and photographs on coachbuilder Bellhouse, Hartwell. There is also a large collection of sound recordings of various bus types, taken of both preserved and ‘in service’ vehicles. We even have Peter’s cassette tape recorder complete with muffled microphone! The Bellhouse, Hartwell collection includes this official shot of a 1949 Crossley SD42/7 for Smiths of Wigan. There are also a number of official photograph albums from London-based coachbuilder Duple, including this Dennis Arrow which was new to Victory of Salisbury in 1931.
