 The rear engined Albion Viking was quite popular with Scottish Bus Group members, but not so elsewhere. The design of the Alexander Y-type body changed over the years as can be seen in this contrasting pair seen in Aberdeen Bus Station, NNV84 (ORS84H) and NNV33 (GRG433E). It appears that Alexander's Northern Ireland subsidiary, Potters, was involved in the bodying of NNV33 and the rest of the batch, NNV16-33.

 Doubledeckers were few and far between and most came secondhand from other SBG fleets. This is thought to be Aberdeen's NRE6 (VCS419) new to Western SMT in 1964 as 1865. The Alexander bodied Albion Lowlander LR1 is seen in summer 1977.

 Seen at Dundee that summer is NRE5 (VCS417) which was Western 1863.

 This Lowlander was new to Northern as NRE1 (SRS111), new with NRE2 in 1963. Alongside is Fife's new Duple Dominant bodied Leyland Leopard FPE111 (CFS111S) - two triple ones together in Dundee Bus Station.
