In 1949, the first of 20 odd half-deck coaches appeared. The product of a somewhat shady businessman, George Crellin (who had other aliases), he convinced the Lincs Trailer company, who had never built a bus before, to construct the first half-deck, which then became known as the Crellin Duplex.
Prior to building the bus, Crellin secured a British patent for its design.
Although Crellin convinced Lincs that 1,500 will be sold over a three-year period, the reality is that only 20 were built.
See and hear the story of the Crellin-Duplex Half-Deck Coach!!
