Crosville
Motor Services Ltd Fleet No DFG38 Registration number 319 PFM. New to
Crosville's Edge Lane depot Liverpool in 1961. DFG38 is a Bristol FS6G
"Lodekka" which used a drop centre rear axle and offset transmission to
allow the lowering of the lower deck gangway, which along with rear air
suspension maintains an overall vehicle height of just 13 feet 3 1/4
inches allowing them to pass under low bridges that had insufficient
clearance for standard double deckers.
DFG38 is fitted with a Gardner 6LW engine and five speed gearbox, along
with a Cave-Brown heating and ventilation system which replaces the
conventional radiator with two radiators on either side of the
destination blinds, providing a warm air flow and ventilation to the
saloons.
The bus survived as a driver training vehicle into the 1990's passing
into private preservation and then to the Wirral Transport Museum in
2007 since then it's original registration nember has been restored.
