SCH 241, Derby Corporation 241, was a 1960 Sunbeam F4A with Roe H65R body, new in 1960. It is seen in Derby Market Place in January 1966, on Shelton Lock 60 service. The backdrop is the magnificent Assembly Rooms, gutted by fire in 1963. The facade was later dismantled and re-erected at Crich Tramway Museum. The Market Place is fairly unrecognisable today

On the same day in January 1966, I followed 241 on my bicycle to photograph it here at Shelton Lock terminus, back in the days when buses waited for time and had their own roadside loops!Previous | NextARC 515, DCOD 215 is a 1949 Sunbeam F4 with BTH electrical equipment and Brush H30/26R body, seen at The Mitre on Harvey Road. No overhead wires here! This was a trip out with a mobile generator trailer in tow for power, some years after the system closed with 215 in preservation locally. She now resides at The Black Country Museum in Dudley - well worth a visit!
