SCOTTISH VINTAGE BUS MUSEUM

**THE SCOTTISH VINTAGE BUS MUSEUM - LEYLAND LEOPARD RRS 46 R**
Stagecoach (Scotland) donated this 1977 Leyland Leopard with Duple Dominant 49-seat body (right) to the museum. The vehicle, registration number RRS 46 R, was new to W Alexander & Sons (Northern) as NPE46 and was latterly number 131 with Stagecoach Bluebird Buses. The coach is in complete condition and now only requires regular maintenance to keep it up to reasonable rally standard.
The intention is to provide an additional service to members as well as promoting the social side of the museum by attending rallies throughout the country, preferably within, say five or six hours driving distance. This would include the likes of the Trans-Pennine, Tyne-Tees, Halifax, plus others of interest, all within a day's journey. It is also planned to use it in connection with museum social events. Below we see the coach in its original livery (left) and in its restored simplified livery.
