Wigan Album

Owing to a shortage of Daimler Fleetlines, Cleveland Transit acquired fifteen Bristol VR's with Northern Counties bodywork in 1977. This is one of them in a partialy completed state. These buses lasted on Teesside till 1989 when they were withdrawn. Several of them saw further service elsewhere, and one (RDC106R) is under restoration by our Group. I would be interested to know if any further views of Teesside's buses exist in the Northern Counties Archives? Can anyone provide me with further details?
Also the first post war Northern Counties body on a forward
control chassis HPY318N a 1975 Ford 'A' series also new to Cleveland Transit, still exists at a Glider Club somewhere in the North West near Preston. It was last heard of in 2000.

I believe this to be RDC 101R H101,when the photo is blown up the number 8146 can be seen on the exhaust panel,which is the body number of H101.

This was on its way to pem for the ruslts you see in the strret without knowing what went into just that alone
