Because of my particular interest in this area, this is a list
of all known British single-deck halfcab / half-canopy buses and coaches
that I believe survive in the UK - and sometimes elsewhere. This list is
probably the most comprehensive around, and I try to keep it as up to date
as possible.
I have included buses and coaches converted to trucks or breakdown
vehicles and 'chassis only' entries, and include all British buses (i.e.
vehicles that once served with a British operator) that are preserved abroad
- not that there are many. It's a bit difficult to decide whether a vehicle
should be included if it was once a halfcab, but isn't now (e.g. later converted
to double-deck or full-front), so the 'rules' are a bit arbitrary in certain
grey areas !
The listing is arranged in order of (1) Chassis manufacturer,
(2) Chassis model (i.e. Bristol L5, then L6, or Tiger TS7 then TS8 etc.),
(3) Original operator in alphabetical order. Then each entry shows original
operator, original fleet number, subsequent owners / fleet numbers if applicable,
chassis type, chassis number in brackets {__} if known, body type (and age
if different from chassis age), body number in brackets {__} if known, chassis
build date, registration number, ownership details.
Abbreviations are listed at the end. The bodywork abbreviations
are in the standard format, i.e. 'B', 'C' or 'DP' (for Bus, Coach or
Dual-Purpose), followed by the seating capacity, then by the door position
'F', 'C', 'R' or 'D' (for Front, Centre, Rear or Dual). The prefix 'U' means
a wartime Utility body, 'F' means a full-front, and 'O' means Open Top.
For the latest additions (i.e. a bus that was always around,
but I've only just found out about it !) look for
thesymbol.
For any significant information updates see the
symbol.
Entries with links from the registration number (or with
links crediting a photographer) will connect to a photograph of the vehicle
elsewhere on this site, or to information on another site. Surprisingly,
there are now over 600 vehicles in this list so the following links may be
useful:
My thanks to David Slater and John Godwin for starting me off
with their 1993 book 'Preserved Buses Trolleys & Trams', and thanks also
to the multitude of other sources (and owners) who give me snippets of
information and help me keep it all up to date, particularly information
from the PSV Circle.
Well, here goes..... (By the way, the colour scheme is meant
to represent the coaches of South Wales.)
