070 The white Bristol.

070 The white Bristol. In addition to the 30 Ailsas ordered in 1976, Tayside also ordered 25 Bristol VRs with Alexander bodies in a similar style to the Ailsas and Fleetlines. Unlike the Ailsas the Gardner engines were at the rear (the last five were fitted with Leyland engines). Number 199 OSR199R was badly damaged in 1980/81 and was rebuilt with the centre door removed and coach seats which proved very popular with passengers and those wanting to hire it.
