Body: 1947 Crossley 32-seat S/D bus (Steel frame with aluminium panelling) This is one of a pair of Leyland Tiger PS1s with 32-seat Crossley bodies that were delivered to Chesterfield Corporation in 1947. They carried the same design of bodywork as a large batch of Crossleys and four AEC Regals also delivered to the Corporation. JRA 635 served with the Corporation as a PSV until 1964 when it was transferred to driver training duties, which it carried out until 1972. It then went into preservation and had several owners before restoration was commenced in the late 1990s under the ownership of Mr. David Gambles who had the exterior repanelled and repainted. It was acquired by T. M. Travel in 2006 and since that time the interior has been refurbished, including the seats and a replacement floor.
