Leyland Royal Tiger Doyen: Scottish City Link

ONE OF YOUR FAVOURITE COACHES AND MINE
Looking very impressive indeed in the smart and distinctive Scottish Citylink livery was Fife's Leyland Royal Tiger Doyen coach No.563, one of a pair originally ordered by Western Scottish but never used.. It had gained a so-called cherished numberplate but was delivered as A163 TGE and numbered FLT 5. Taken on a fairly dull day in about 1988 the light was even worse with it being parked inside the doorway of Kirkaldy Garage, but on a rare visit one doesn't worry too much about loosing a bit of print quality when taking an interesting vehicle like this: Anyway I don't. I've decided to add another tag to cover favourite types or batches of buses that I liked for one reason or another. Sometimes there is a story behind it but in this case I just liked these grand and imposing looking Leylands.
