Early Ailsa - West Midands PTE.
Seeing this wonderfully restored innovative 'modern' double decker screeching around over the weekend, and noting that it was an early example of an Ailsa, I had to look it up on BLOTW. It appears that it was the first of the type sold to an operator, bearing chassis No. 74001. It differed in appearance to from West Midlands production run of the type by the use of the more attractive curved glass screens favoured by the SBG on most of their deliveries.
TOE 527N is seen leaving Lathalmond museum complex with a Dunfermline shuttle working yesterday.
