Interesting video with a cracking selection of buses from the 1920's to the 1960's - I have been to the Black Country Museum at Dudley which has a similar atmosphere and really must go to Beamish one of these days. Nice to see Blackpool tram 31 which is a rebuilt 'Marton Box' car dating originally from 1901 and rebuilt in the 1920's. South Shields 140 is a Daimler CCG6 (quite a rare type compared to the more usual CVG) and the Darlington bus you have shown is a similar type but with a 5 cylinder engine instead of 6 - both have classic Roe bodywork. Lovely!
It is a great place. I only scratched the surface with the limited time we had there. Perhaps we should have had a more modern coach than the Crossville RE. That would have got us there quicker. But not as much fun.
Superb, been years since I was last there. Shame no trolleybuses running though, there were 2 in the garage and plenty of overhead up. Would have been ideal
@@davefrench3608 it would have been good to see them out. My first visit to Beamish. Hope to go again as I didn't get to see everything in the time we had. Wonderful place though
@michaelobrien9825 I totally agree. It's a fantastic place. One I would definitely recommend. I could spend several days there. It's a place I would definitely volunteer at if I was local
