Corgi 1/76 AEC Regent V/Roe, Hartlepool Corporation, Destination B OM41416B
The Hartlepool Corporation began serving the two boroughs of Hartlepool and West Hartlepool in 1952. The Corporation’s licence required them to provide half the buses needed to operate the service between the two towns. This presented a problem, since the Corporation did not own any buses! An agreement was reached with Bee Line Roadways, a local coach operator which ran the service on the Corporation’s behalf and garaged their fleet from August 1953. By 1956 this fleet was ageing and was replaced by four AEC Regent Vs as seen here. The Hartlepool Corporation’s fourteen year existence was brought to an end in 1967 when the bus fleets of the two boroughs were merged.

Corgi 1/76 Crossley DD42, Ashton Corporation, Glossop OM41610A
By 1938, the tram era in Ashton-under-Lyne was over. After the Second World War, the Ashton Corporation took its first delivery of six Crossley DD42/3s which replaced earlier Crossley vehicles purchased in the mid-1930s. In November 1954, the familiar peacock blue and cream livery was introduced. Over the following years, bus routes came and went and in January 1967 the last new bus route to be opened by Ashton Corporation was to the new housing estate at Gambrel Bank. Two years later in November 1969 the South East Lancashire and North East Cheshire Passenger Transport Executive was formed. This swallowed up the Ashton Corporation, and the peacock blue and cream buses gradually disappeared, bringing to an end a total of 67 years of Ashton Corporation Transport.

Leyland PD3 'Queen Mary' Open Top, Southdown Motor Services, 197 Eastbourne via & Birling Gap
Nearly sixty years ago, the first of what eventually turned out to be around three hundred very different buses took to the road. Seating sixty-nine on thirty feet of bus, the ‘Queen Mary’s’ were large machines, considerably larger than anything Sussex had seen before – contrasting the familiar red and cream buses of Brighton Corporation Transport and Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company. The last of these green and cream machines entered service in 1967 and were worthy successors to Southdown’s existing double deckers.

Corgi 1/76 Routemaster, Blackpool Transport, 12 St Annes dual destination OM46306B
Toward the end of 1985 Blackpool Transport surprised many by announcing the trial of a London Transport AEC Routemaster as part of its post deregulation strategy.  Blackpool's actions mimicked that of Clydeside Scottish who had tried and tested a Routemaster in 1985 prior to introducing a large fleet for service in Glasgow ahead of deregulation.  A similar strategy was implemented by sister business Kelvin Scottish and Stagecoach and therefore implied a popular tactic.
RM1583 entered service on routes 5 and 5A (Halfway House to Grange Park) and was allocated number 500 which was reserved for demonstrators.  It impressed accordingly and a first batch of six was purchased and allocated number 521.  A repaint into the 1930s lined red and white livery was adopted rather than the standard green and off white livery.
The 5/5A was the Routemaster's prime home, but they also ran on other crew routes – 15 (Blackpool-Fleetwood) and 22/22A (Cleveleys-Halfway House and Lytham).  Deregulation in 1986 saw the 5/5A withdrawn so the Routemasters were reallocated to route 12 (Blackpool to Airport).
By 1988 the Routemaster fleet doubled as Blackpool Transport responded to the introduction of a Promenade bus service with its own route.  Six more Routemasters were purchased and arrived in pairs.  With just six weeks to prepare the buses they were treated to a simplified version of the red and white livery.  The new service launched on Saturday 28th May and the six buses debuted with promotional adverts for in house 'Travelcard' which were carried until replaced by Opal Fruits in 1993.

The company’s buses and coaches originally wore a green and cream livery and operated contracts, private hires and a Blackpool Express service. A new livery of red, yellow and maroon, applied differently to each bus, was adopted following deregulation in 1986.
