The location of Manchester suggests that the coach belonged to Melba Motors of Reddish, Stockport. They used to buy vehicles second hand from North Western but the only fleet list I can find begins in 1958. They only operated a small number of buses. Any other pictures? Only I have a few options of North Western coaches that were taken out of service in the late 40s and need more views than just a flat rear. Coachbuilder choices of Duple, Harrington or Windover, chassis choices of Bristol, Leyland or Dennis.......maybe. The biggest difficulty is that most photographs on the net show the fronts and sides of buses, whereas films frequently show only the departing rear view. -- Last edit: 2019-05-13 13:11:33 |

From comparison with a magazine picture of DKT14, a 1937 Leyland Tiger/Harrington of Maidstone and District, I think that this may be a Harrington body. DKT16 for reference https://hiveminer.com/Tags/tiger%2Cts7 6 rows down, third picture. I accept that there are some differences, but it could be possible. Most of the chassis with Harrington bodies on North Western's books were Leyland Tigers, but there were some Cheetahs and two rogue Dennis Aces, which might be in the frame, so we know no more. Short of more pictures, I think that's the best I can offer. -- Last edit: 2019-05-13 18:20:44 |
