What was and what might have been.1940 Leyland Titan TD 7 at Saline (left) Alexander blue-liveried Routemaster (right) as it may have appeared had it been acquired from London Transport. Many of Alexander's double deckers were second hand from London Transport, but by the time Routemasters were up for disposal, Alexanders was no more although its successors, like Strathtay, did operate ex-London Routemasters. This bus was acquired by Stagecoach and never ran in public service in this livery.(right) - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |
Guy Arab II (above) turned out in the red livery used on Perth town services before red was later adopted by W Alexnader & Sons, Fife. CMS 200 - a Leyland Tiger PS1 of 1949 vintage in the all blue livery applied to buses - coaches were predominantly cream (right) - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow (May 2015) | |
Stagecoach vintage Routemasters appear in both of the above photographs - the unauthentically liveried RM which never ran in Alexanders' blue livery and the red RML turned out in pseudo London Transport livery. The red RML ran on the 73 service between Dundee's Ninewells Hospital and Arbroath in the run up to Christmas 2014. The coaches are (left) the rather unusual HDV 639E 1967 Bristol MW6G/ Eastern Coach Works Bluebird and (right) McLennan of Spittalfield's 1951 Leyland Tiger PS1 - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow (May 2015) | |
