Tiger Cub

03 Feb 2007 406
When I started school at the age of 5 I had to travel by bus four times a day (we came home for lunch in those days). The fare was 2d each way. This is typical of the transport provided for us by the North Western Road Car Company Ltd from their Stockport, Charles Street garage. This is a Leyland Tiger Cub PSC1/1 built in 1957 with Weymann 44 seat bodywork. Of the thirty buses supplied in this batch all but this one were converted for one man operation during the 1960's. Conversion appeared to comprise fittings for a ticket machine and coin tray at the driver's side and an illuminated sign which read 'One Man Operation' below the windscreen on the nearside.
