Saurers at Gelterkinden

Alongside PTT Aarau the village of Gelterkinden was something of a pure Saurer RH stronghold as the local garage management rebuffed the more sophisticated newer types from Mercedes-Benz and Setra delaying their introduction and eventual takeover. These solid and functional yet classic Swiss Post Buses had a timeless look about them that was seemingly neither modern nor old fashioned. These buses like Hess bodied P25826 of 1983 differed from their similar looking 'apline' counterparts in being both longer and equipped with a third exit.
