| Description |
New Road crosses over the A38 in Bromsgrove. The last thing I expected to see on the A38 was this blue bus! Destination Garage. 116 Reg no: XDH 516G Information from The Transport Museum, Wythall. Walsall Corporation Reg No: XDH 516 G Chassis: Daimler Fleetline CRG6 Engine: Gardner 6LX Body: Northern Counties DD OWNED BY DAVID TAYLOR Built in 1968, 116 was one of the final batch of buses delivered to Walsall Corporation before the WMPTE take-over. The specially shortened chassis was a feature of all Walsall Fleetlines and the body style was peculiar to Walsall and a small batch bulit for SHMD. 116 was retained by the PTE and restored (albeit in WMPTE livery) by apprentices at Tyburn Road Works. It was the last former Walsall bus to be withdrawn by the PTE, arriving at Wythall in 1986. In the late 80s it was restored to original Walsall blue, including the replacement of all window rubbers with the correct white rubber. By 2006, its paintwork was showing signs of wear and tear and it briefly carried WMPTE stickers again as part of our WMPTE 20 event, marking 20 years since the passing of the PTEs. In 2008 it was fully refurbished and is once again resplendent in Walsall Corporation livery, right down to the striped used ticket bin. |
