Saving Manchester’s last Art Deco double decker bus – Museum Crush


Greater Manchester’s Museum of Transport is fundraising to get a little bit of 1930s Art Deco Manchester back on the road

Bus number 436 was one of hundreds of Crossley buses, built in Gorton by Crossley Motors, that during the 1930s and 1940s were everyday transport for thousands of Mancunians.

The Manchester Corporation Crossley double deckers, with their open platform at the rear, driver’s half cab and a conductor or ‘clippie’ taking the fares, ferried people right across the city to work, the pub, the cinema and beyond.
