Alexander PS bodywork adorns this Volvo B10M which originated with Stagecoach Ribble as their 422 (M422RRN). It looks like the Stagecoach stripes have been recoloured to match Finglands livery.

This Leyland Leopard was new in 1979 to Singapore Bus Service. It was a one off exprimental vehicle fitted with a unique Alexander dual door body with a flat windscreen based on its T-type body. It came back to the UK in 1984, registered Q652WWJ and rebuilt to single door with Wood's of Mirfield, it passed in 1989 to Allender of Milngavie. The current Plaxton Derwent body was fitted in 1992 and by 1995 it was registered KGE74T. Shortly after passing to Finglands about six months later it acquired the registration it is seen with here, HIL7747. In August 2000 Finglands sold it to Kavanagh in Tipperary, and it became 84-TS-885 who withdrew it in 2005. Here, in plain white, it pounds out of Manchester.
