‘Scene’ by Peter Rose in Dunfermline Bus Station, Scotland 1 on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Friend Peter Rose has been North of the border once more and has forwarded these images which are posted with his permission and my thanks.

The building behind the bus was at one time the Belleville Hotel where Peter informs me that he mis-spent many of his teenage hours.

 

Just look at that blue sky.

 

Where I live in the East Midlands, I have not seen sky that colour since ???????

The LE in the body designation stands for Low Entrance.

 

A hybrid design offering a low entrance like a bus with a raised rear area like a coach.

 

I expected this type of bus to be built in some numbers as it seems a natural for operators of long interurban routes, giving them the best of both worlds.

 

However, I only know of this batch of ten buses that operate on the Edinburgh/Dunfermline corridor.
