Revision as of 07:23, 24 May 2007

In the 1930's Northern General Transport started to build their own chassis designs.
The prompt for this came in the form of traffic growing, low bridges were dominant so therefore this forbid use on many routes for double-deckers.
A new approach was needed in the form of high capacity single-deckers.
1933 saw the start of production for single engined single deckers.
1951 one bus and one coach were built.
The coach had an AEC Regal chassis with a 7.7 litre engine.
The bus had a 30ft by 8ft chassis frame also with a 7.7 litre engine.
1970 Northern General built double-deckers the Tynesider and the Wearsider.
After the production of these buses no more vehicles were made.
