Coachwork is an early Burlingham Seagull. |

1947 is too early for Burlingham Seagull......but JGD111-7 was a batch of 1951 Burlingham bodied AEC Regal IV coaches with centre entrance bodies for Norther Roadways of Glasgow. -- Last edit: 2017-09-18 22:12:07 |

No then - but I'm not that confident of the registration. |

But I'm absolutely confident it's a Seagull. |

Have rerun the clip and would take JGD or JGO, possibly with 110. |

Definitely a Burlingham Seagull, and it has an AEC badge. That photo Sunbar found looks like a rebody - isn't it a Plaxton? I'm satisfied the operator is Northern Roadways - have a look at this, yeah, I know it's a Royal Tiger and it's a model, but check the livery and the bonnets on the front: https://www.flickr.com/photos/d-dougied/24860063285/ . Also I can't read straight tonight, the batch I quoted was actually JGD110-7. That era, it has to be a Regal IV. -- Last edit: 2017-09-18 22:36:00 |

There was an article about this service in Classic Bus a while back, but my current restrictions prevent me from shifting piles of books. |

I should have known that! Never considered it was re-bodied however. |

Interesting backstory ".. used by Northern Roadways of Glasgow in the early 1950s on the Glasgow-London route. .... furnished with a toilet/washroom in the rear which had stained glass windows. There was some controversy over the Northern Roadways service, a licence being granted by the Scottish Minister of Transport for services to London, Birmingham, Coventry and Bournemouth, but also having to be approved by the British Minister for Transport.... with a lot of political manoeuvring at the time, with state approved bus companies, such as SMT, Ribble and British Railways appealing decisions to grant a competitor rights to operate a service. In effect they were playing Scottish and British government departments against each other. ... the coaches must have made quite an impact at the time, with smooth, modern lines and two tone metallic paintwork, which would have been almost unique." |
