• A coach designed specifically for night operation between Scotland and London will be exhibited by Walter Alexander and Co. (Coachbuilders) Ltd. at the Commercial Motor Show next month. Mounted on a Bristol REMH rear-underfloor-engined chassis, the 12-metre coach will seat 42 passengers in reclining seats.
The body is an entirely new concept for Alexander, and has been built to the special requirements of, and in conjunction with, the Scottish Bus Group for its overnight Edinburgh /Glasgow to London service. All structure and panelling will be of aluminium alloy.
A new feature will be the use of double glazing in the main side windows adjacent to the passengers, in the interests of heat insulation, and the windows will be shallower than usual. As is customary on coaches designed for the Group's Scotland to London services, a toilet will be positioned at the rear.
