Exploring Dundee Buses From the 1960s to 2016

In this special video programme to explore Dundee buses we will be looking at the last six decades of bus operation in the city. Dundee is situated on Scotland's east coast between the much larger cities of Aberdeen to the north and the capital, Edinburgh to the south. In the early days it ran trams and was also a pioneer of the trolleybus. Motorbuses arrived in 1921 and were operated by the corporation and carried a blue and white livery until 1934. Alexander ran the country services and in 1962 became Alexander (Northern) introducing a bright yellow and cream livery. In 1991 the company was sold to its managers and employees and in 1997 to the current owner, National Express. The buses were painted in the standard 'West Midlands' colour scheme.In 2015 the buses became green once more when National Express changed the livery. To complete our review we present a 'Photo Gallery' of Dundee buses from the itv archives taken in 1976 and 1985.
