URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!!!!!
Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement rear off side window for an Alexander Y type Leopard. The rear end of the bus had an accident with one of Dunfermline depots' tri-axle Scania's. (An apprentice put a near side Scania wing mirror through the rear window of FPE189.) Any help would be most appreciated in finding a replacement window. If you can help, please contact me at wattyfife@googlemail.com
THIS IS THE TEMPORARY HOME FOR ALL PAGES RELATED TO THE FORMER SCOTTISH BUS GROUP OF COMPANIES. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE AT PRESENT USING THE FIFESCOTTISH.COM WEBSITE ADDRESS (WHICH IS STILL INCLUDED WITHIN THESE PAGES). A LOT OF THE LINKS WITHIN THE SITE MAY BE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE DUE TO THE INTERNAL RE-STRUCTURING. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME WHILST THIS IS TAKING PLACE. PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE. I HOPE THAT YOU CONTINUE FINDING PLEASURE WHILST THIS WORK IS ONGOING.
THROUGH TIME, AND HOPEFULLY WITH A BIT OF INPUT FROM OTHERS, IT IS HOPED THAT ALL FORMER SBG COMPANIES, AND THEIR INFO, WILL BE FOUND WITHIN THIS SITE. IN FACT, ANYTHING RELATING TO SCOTTISH BUSES. IT WILL BE DIFFICULT AT TIMES, DUE TO VARIOUS SBG COMPANIES MERGING - AND BREAKING UP AGAIN - BUT, PLEASE BEAR WITH ME, I WILL WORK IT OUT. I WILL ADD THE VERY LIMITED INFO I HAVE FOR THE COMPANIES, AND WILL RELY ON YOU, THE VIEWER/READER, TO SUPPLY MORE INFO, IF YOU CAN. ALL HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
CURRENTLY BEING ADDED, IS THE MASSIVE FLEET OF WALTER ALEXANDER & SONS. I AM STARTING ON THE FLEET FROM 1932 AND WILL BE GRADUALLY ADDING THE 1933, 1934 etc BUS INTAKES, UP TO THE 1961 SPLIT. A START HAS ALSO BEEN MADE ON MIDLAND SCOTTISH AND LOWLAND SCOTTISH. NEXT TO COME WILL BE EASTERN SCOTTISH BUSES.
ALL LINKS TO THE VARIOUS COMPANIES CAN BE FOUND BELOW.
JUST CLICK ON THE RELEVANT SBG COMPANY AND LOOK FOR THE VARIOUS LINKS WITHIN THAT PAGE. YOU MAY WANT TO FIND A SPECIFIC BUS, SO IF YOU KNOW IF IT IS A SINGLE DECKER FOR EXAMPLE, JUST OPEN UP THE SINGLE DECKERS LINK AND YOU WILL BE GUIDED TO THE VARIOUS TYPES OF SINGLE DECKER. JUST CLICK THE TYPE OF BUS REQUIRED AND SEE IF THERE ARE ANY PHOTOS OF THE BUS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. PLEASE NOTE, THE PHOTOS FOR THE BUSES MIGHT TAKE A WHILE TO BUILD UP AS I HAVE TO RELY ON YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS.
ALL THE VARIOUS COMPANIES ALSO, IN SOME FORM OR ANOTHER, INCLUDE FLEET LISTS, BY VIRTUE OF THE NATURE OF THE LAYOUT OF THIS SITE.
