On Saturday 30th May the 1922 Petrol Electric Tilling Stevens left the Manchester Museum of Transport. This bus had been privately owned but on display in the museum for many years. Thankfully the bus was saved from export to the USA over a decade ago. The bus has been bought by a private collector in Shropshire. Its Departure from Boyle Street was one of the few opportunities to catch this beast in daylight. Its a far cry from todays 'low floor' buses. More excellent shots from Niall. These pics show the beautiful detail on this veteran gem! The signwriting is pure artwork, no vinyl abominations here.
