Midland Red Charabanc - Named “SoS” the Charabanc!
Fleet number 147
Seats up to 25
passengers
There is only one of these Charabancs in the UK which is licenced to carry passengers. This
vehicle has an interesting history, the body is thought to date from 1929 - it was heavily refurbished and fitted onto a
slightly more modern chassis back in the 1970’s. This makes it possible for it to be operational for many years in modern
traffic conditions.
Midland Red operated this vehicle in the Ironbridge Gorge, linking the heritage sites for a
number of years.
Enter the spirit of a bye gone time and enjoy your Charabanc ride.
