1948 Crossley bus


NS = Nederlandse Spoorwegen (Dutch Railways). Crossley was a British company, formed in 1906, and taken over by Associated Equipment Company (AEC) in 1948. Production of the Crossley range of vehicles continued at the Stockport plant until 1952. After that date the production was of AEC designs until the factory closed in 1958 and the name was then defunct. (No, the bus's colour scheme didn't influence ours!)

Britain from Above web site has a couple of 1949 images of the Crossley factory from the air with a bus of this style waiting outside- in all over white finish.

The image reference there is eaw024181
