F&L TRANSPORT 13 E323WYS
I've been asked what F&L stood for and it was FINE SERVICE & LOW FARES. The original concept was to run dupes as required. Most Clydeside services were registered as frequent, so F&L vehicles could slot themselves in without needing their own registrations. At the start there was some debate whether to accept Clydeside tickets or just pretend it was another independent. In the end tickets were accepted. The law said legal lettering had to be applied, but did not state any colour, so Yellow lettering was applied on Yellow. The company got cold feet and later diluted the concept applying black skirt panels. This was a Renault S56/ Alexander seen in Paisley, competing with Gleniffer coaches. The concept was later exported to Luton as Challenger.
