billy_anorak59 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Wasn’t sure where to place this, ‘UK Prototype Questions’? I reasoned though that ‘Road Vehicles’ would find most of the people with the knowledge… It’s regarding a road vehicle that has become rather intimately, but unintentionally, connected to the railway. Does anyone know the identity of this coach which is ‘somewhere in Scotland’, and can anybody identify the location too? (Apart from ‘somewhere in Scotland’) My father took this snap in either 1952 or 1954 (I can’t remember), whilst on a motorcycling tour. I know he visited Gareloch, Fort William, and Inverness, and I ‘think’ the photo shows the coach branded with ‘SMT’, but it's not totally clear (Is that Scottish Motor Transport?). That’s all I have. No reason for the questions really, I’d just be interested to know and appreciate any details that anyone can fill in - it may interest people anyway.

stewartingram Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 ECW body, almost certainly on a Bristol chassis. Bristol and ECW were nationalised in 1948 along with the bus companies in the Tilling group, and were not normally allowed to sell outside the group.

javlinfaw7 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I am sure this is a Bristol LS6g with a ECW 38 seat body ,though a similar AEC Regal IV with an Alexanders body was also used at this time Edited July 23, 2017 by javlinfaw7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc2085 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I think that this is a Bristol MW. I attach a copy of a very similar vehicle in Eastern National Livery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
