THE FAMILIAR single-deck bus has disappeared from Edinburgh streets. It was the type first used for experiments to try out the present "autofare" system.
At one time there were 100 in the city's Leyland Tiger Cub fleet, and the first ones ran in 1959. Now the last one remaining has also finished its final journey.
Apart from the "autofare" experiments, they were also the first buses in the city to have two-way radios, and operated on the Shoppabus service.
Many of the Cubs were snapped up by a Northern Ireland operator in 1966 when double-deckers took over, and the remaining buses operated mainly on part-day services and school journeys.
