When Edmonton bought British - II
Edmonton Transit System (ETS) was sufficiently impressed by the recently announced Daimler SRC6 Roadliner to order a batch of 28 examples. They were fitted with Duple bodywork to Willowbrook design. The buses entered service in 1966. One from the batch was exhibited before shipment at the 1966 Commercial Motor Show in Earls Court. This photo comes from the Commercial Motor archive and was published in the Ian Allan book, ‘Bus Blunders’.
The Edmonton Roadliners differed from their UK counterparts by being fitted with Allison gearboxes, but ETS endured the same litany of Roadliner problems. The batch was withdrawn from service in 1975/76 and none are known to have survived.
