The ugly looking Alexander 'P' was in contrast to the more successful 'PS' Type. Not exactly Alexander's finest hour! New to East Midland(632), in 05/1985, this Tiger is seen here on display at Rowsley South Station during the Nottingham Heritage Vehicles Charity Rally & Running Day at Peak Rail's H.Q., on 16/06/2024. It had latterly been a Driver Training bus with Stagecoach Cleveland Transit, at Kingston-upon-Hull, where it was numbered 25832. Later photos, especially in 2018, show it was languishing in a sorry state at the Midland Railway Butterley Swanwick Junction centre. When new, it carried the two-tone green East Midland post-privatisation livery but later wore this scheme. At one point it carried a modified radiator grill. © Peter Steel 2024.
