SMT: Volvo Ailsa Alexander


There are many places in the UK which I haven't covered properly yet including Scotland and Wales but I'm slowly getting there. Edinburgh certainly deserves another inclusion because I loved these Volvo Ailsa's they had so much character and their inclusion in SBG Fleets reminds me of the days when they also had a strange mix of Alexander bodied Leylands and AEC etc, plus a similar number of Bristol /ECW products which looked most strange not in their usual BTC Tilling Red and Green. In 1997 SMT No.1042 was showing traces of First Group ownership but at this time First-Barbi was still to venture out on to the Scottish Capital's comparatively chilly streets.
