‘Scene’ at ‘Showbus 2018’. The Alexander ‘PS’ type body on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

In its time the Alexander PS type body was one of the most widely distributed single deckers. 

 

Built mainly on Volvo B10M chassis but on other makes as well.

 

They were the workhorses of many fleets including ‘First’ group and ‘Stagecoach’.

The livery is a combination of the ‘old’ livery at the front with what was ‘First’s livery of the time.
