Not my best photo but we shouldn't have been in Montreux

When I was at Aiglon College in Switzerland during the Mid-Sixties my friends and Myself were always getting in trouble including on the day when we were spotted in Montreux when we should have been going up a boring old mountain on one of our twice a term character building Expeditions. But for me at least it was worth it for in our part of Switzerland overlooking the Rhone Valley in Vaud, yellow Regie PTT Swiss Post Buses were few and far between so I was more than pleased to see these two FBW Alpenwagens which had come all the way from St.Moritz I expect working the Europabus. Unfortunately they had put the luggage trailers in the way so I could not photograph them from the front but I believe the first bus was P24058. Generally though it seemed the Saurers had a larger window in the rear door than the FBW's so this bus was quite unusual. As you can see P24087 a later bus at the end of the series had a more modern and angular body but as is nearly always the case it's impossible to improve on a true Classic.
