071 Round the bend.

071 Round the bend. Always looking at the latest developments in bus design, Tayside had a very unusual visitor in March 1978. This articulated bus by Belgian coachbuilder Van Hool, with a Volvo engine, was trialled on a number of city routes but because it was left-hand drive passengers weren’t given the opportunity to travel on it. Early examples of “bendy buses” have existed since the 1920s in Europe with the UK using them in limited numbers since the 1980s. COURTESY OF THE EVENING TELEGRAPH, DUNDEE (ORDER REFERENCE DMOT06)
