| The Scottish Bus Group (SBG)
operated over 200 Alexander T-types in their heyday. The
body was designed as a dual-purpose coach and was in production for
seven years from 1976 to 1983. Chassis to receive the body were mainly Leopards and
Seddons although some Tigers were also included at the end.
Only a handful now remain in service. |
