Johann Marsbar Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Off the top of my head, I cant think of any UK operators that used Birney cars - single or double trucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennofootscray Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Of the seven left hand drive single truck Birneys exported to Australia, six are still preserved and most are operative. My version of Bendigo 29 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coline33 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Andy, I have never come across a genuine Birney either double or single truck in the British Isles. However, some design facets did emerge in some of the British experimental single decks that emerged in the 1920s but by the end of that decade the bus was making inroads with new trams becoming too expensive, conversion of existing cars to front entrance was only affordable.
