Were there any Daimler Fleetline single deckers preserved with Alexander W bodywork? My memories of Northern & SDO examples operating Consett to Sunderland services 4,5, 15 and X6 (when not operated by Coach) in the mid 70's. These had Alexander W bodywork and the first I remember Northern having centre doors.

Link shows 4202 KCN 24J - What is the model of Northern pictured to the left of 4022? Is it a Leyland Panther with Marshall body. I know Daimler Fleetline single deckers have been preserved with Marshall bodywork, being operated by Sunderland and Darlington Corporation and have appeared at shows.
Anything on Alexander W bodied examples being preserved uch appreciated.

(29 Oct 2016, 3:14 pm)a718abb Having driven both the Volvo B10BLE and DAF SB220GS, in their latter years, i can honestly say that the Volvo stood the test of time the best. The DAF's really were a nightmare to drive when old, and I gather that they had major maintenance issues as well when old. My conclusion is that, whilst I understand that bus preservation is an expensive exercise at the best of times, the DAF would probably have presented a greater challenge.
