I remember Harpers Bros Buses and Coaches very well in my childhood days as they used to go past my old house in Erdington Road, Aldridge and after I left Aldridge with my parents and sister on Saturday 1. June 1. 96. 1 to move to Lichfield. As me and my parents and sister used to use them to visit our Aunty and Uncle who used to live in Daniels Lane, off Erdington Road, Aldridge. Andrew Holder. 20/0. Looking at the Gallery, the poor buses look rather battered and neglected so due for the scrapyard yet are not that old so maybe Harpers were not exactly good on maintenance. It’s a shame that these quite characterful vehicles did not have a better life let alone survive. Richard Leaman. 22/0. Hi Rod the garage lay between the Cannock Rd and the Hednesford Rd Heath Hayes approx 1. Cannock Rd prior to Newlands Lane. I think part of the premises are now a tyre depot.

They also had a garage on the Stafford Rd Cannock that housed I think 2 Vehicles, a workshop at High Green Cannock where Fleet 1. Photo at rear of Heath Hayes Garage was re bodied and a Garage that housed a couple of coaches at Aldridge opposite Portland Rd (town end). The vehicles that were in service were in fact very well maintained. Phil Burton. 26/0. Many thanks Phil. I had a hunch it was down that road somewhere. My partner says that sounds about right think there are flats there now. BibMe Free Bibliography & Citation Maker - MLA, APA, Chicago, Harvard.

Heath Hayes has a Walsall post code. Could the Guy’s odd destination refer to West Bromwich Albion football ground, . You are indeed right, the destination did in fact mean West Bromwich Albion. Harpers ran football excursion buses to all the local teams on Saturdays and any night matches. The destinations would be Albion, Villa, Wolves etc. If the Team wasn’t on the destination blind, Football would be put up and a painted or chalked destination board would be displayed in the drivers window or in a purpose made destination board holder. Phil Burton. 13/0. Did this bus have a replacement utility body whilst in Sheffield service? Quoted as rebodied by NCB, and obviously not a Park Royal, this would seem to be quite an unusual, and interesting occurrence. If so, where did the NCB utility body come from? John Whitaker. 21/0. I have never lived in the West Midlands, so my first- hand experience of Harpers is restricted to a visit to the depot and a ride on a what was then a relatively new Daimler Fleetline on their service from Cannock (via a rather roundabout route) into Birmingham. From these experiences, and from general comments in the enthusiast press, I would say that Harpers were considered one of the leading operators of the day – much better thought of than not only other independents, but many NBC subsidiaries, PTEs, and larger municipalities. The fact that a proportion of the fleet was secondhand did nothing to detract from the fleet’s overall presentation, they always bought quality vehicles and looked after them. David Call. 22/0. I think David Call is absolutely right. I visited the depot once and it seemed to me at the time like a very well run company both operationally and maintenance wise. I remember that on the day I went, one of the Royal Tigers with Harpers own bodywork was receiving attention in the depot. On that occasion I had the interesting experience of travelling on 8. DUK, the Guy Arab V with the odd looking Strachans body. I believe that by then it had a Leyland 0. I would admit that their unusual livery perhaps didn’t suit every vehicle, but it was certainly distinctive! Chris Barker. 23/0. Contemplate, chaps. It seems that Harper’s and Ledgard’s were soul mates. Are there any other mixed operators like this that the rest of you out there would like to nominate? Who else? David Oldfield. Indeed there are David, I’ve always thought the obvious pair were South Yorkshire and South Notts. So many similarities, it’s almost uncanny. To name a few; both had similar size fleets, both operated busy inter- urban services, both had a blue livery, both were mainly stage service operators but with a modest coaching side too, all of their double deckers were lowbridge or low height, all vehicles were bought in two’s or three’s, both bought all- Leyland PD2’s, then turned to other bodybuilders for PD2’s and PD3’s, both had Atlantean PDR1/3’s with Northern Counties bodies, both later turned to the Fleetline with Leyland engine, again with NCME bodies, both ended with the Olympian. I’m sure there were other similarities but you get my drift! Chris Barker. 15/1. I heard a guy was writing a book about Harper Bros. Anyone know if it has been completed? Rod. 15/1. 1/1. 2 – 1. The book is . It is listed in the latest MDS Books catalogue, reference IR9. John Stringer. 15/1. Paul Roberts book . This one will trace the actual history from day one. I would imagine it is not far away now. I will try and get in touch with the author. Mick Bullock. 21/0. The Northern Coachworks Body put on Guy Arab I HWA 7. Fleet No 3 in 1. 95. Lowbridge L2. 7/2. R. It finished service December 1. Phil Burton. 18/1. In addition to local football trips, Harpers ran to important away matches too – I remember going to watch Wolves in a cup match at Leeds with my grandmother some time in the 7. Used to catch Harpers buses between Shire Oak and Brownhills, then Walsall Corporation on to Pipe Hill where footballing grandmother lived (non- footballing one at Shire Oak made a convenient stop off on Sunday when the less frequent services left me to wait in the rain . There was a large field next to our houses which gave access to another large field which lay behind our three houses. This was the hidden junkyard for all the old Harpers buses where a handful of those of us kids . My Dad Jack Preston was the Coop chemist in the same road. From 1. 95. 7 until 1. Lichfield every day on a Harpers bus. In 1. 95. 8 I had an accident coming home when I fell off one of the single deckers with a sliding door at the front and the back wheel of the bus went over the bottom of my leg. Good old Gloria deluxe. Bryan Preston. 08/1. It’s sometime since I made a comment on this post has I didn’t have much more to add, however, I don’t remember inspectors being on Harper’s buses, have I got this right? Jimmie. 06/0. 1/1. No Jimmie, Harold Haytree was the inspector, and also at one stage Bob Finch who was ex police joined the company. Phil Burton. 12/0. In my student days, back in 1. I worked with the company as a conductor for about eight weeks in July / August. I recall the purchase and arrival of a replacement for a crash- damaged vehicle – and the scramble for a trophy in the form of the London Transport radiator badge (replaced by a standard AEC radiator badge). Only, they only had one in stock when I joined: it was much MUCH too big! At HB, we took any available . They had a fair selection of London Transport RT/RTL’s, too. SEE: http: //www. Cravens RT body built in Anglesey). I am also curious about the single deck Guy Arab JVK 6. Did it have one forward gear and four reverse? Roger Cox. 14/0. 1/1. I think that what would be meant by a . This wasn’t at all unusual with commercial vehicles – Bedford coaches, for instance, up to and including the VAL1. VAL7. 0) had a so- called . We had just one such at Ledgard’s Otley depot in the form of my beloved JUA 7. It had been new in 1. Pickering utility body, but in 1. Charles H Roe its twin JUA 7. Armley depot from new until the end and was treated likewise at the same time. New recruits, fresh from perhaps a lorry driving job, were often . The wartime Arab I and earlier batches of Arab II were fitted with the old sliding mesh gearbox with . Later production Arab IIs had a new design of constant mesh four speed gearbox with the conventional . This constant mesh box was the standard fitment to the Arab III – a few had Guy’s own preselector gearbox – so why would JVK 6. Is the caption correct? Perhaps confusion is arising with the Arab I double deckers KRE 8. Also, why remark upon this feature in the Guy, but fail to comment similarly about the several Dennis Lancets in the Harper fleet. The Lancet had the Dennis . When in fifth position, the gear stick was well away from the steering column. Roger Cox. 15/0. 1/1. I imagine some contributors will be able to date some of the photographs shown in the . The rear shot of two vehicles in the depot was clearly taken in Midland Red days, since the vehicle on the right is Midland Red 2. XUX 4. 17. K), the Ford R1. Plaxton B4. 7F acquired by BMMO with the business of Hoggins, Wrockwardine Wood, in 1/7. It was apparently allocated to Heath Hayes depot from 9/7. The shot was presumably taken towards the beginning of that period, since the vehicle on the left, ex- Harper’s 6. RE),Guy Arab LUF/Burlingham, was ostensibly withdrawn in 1. In its brief stay with Midland Red, it would have been fleet number 2. Did the ex- Harper vehicles not carry MR fleetnumbers, initially? It too had a Chinese box so again may have been a refit from another wartime Arab. Geoff S1. 6/0. 1/1. Joe, when John Wilson was GM of NT(SE) he was directed by NBC to accept delivery of some LHD Willowbrook Express bodied AEC Reliances for continental services: there were more accidents with these vehicles on the continent (and, perhaps not surprisingly in the UK ! Wallace Arnold’s Royston depot came with the purchase of G E Billham in 1. I think Billham was largely involved with colliery contracts. Castleford depot, acquired with M Box (Castleford) Ltd in 1.
