They are a sight more common on the streets of London but the iconic Routemaster bus is about to make its mark in Tayside.
The original double-decker buses famed for having an open-back platform and a conductor were taken out of service in 2005 after nearly 50 years of carrying passengers.
However, Stagecoach Strathtay has now taken delivery of two New Routemaster buses the revamped model launched in 2012.
It is understood they will be tried out on the No 73 route, which connects Ninewells Hospital and Arbroath, one of the few remaining routes in the UK to still have conductors collecting fares.
The New Routemaster came into service in 2012.
The buses cost about £355,000 each and feature a hybrid electric-diesel engine.
The original Routemaster entered service with London Transport in 1956 and some remained in use until late 2005.
Approximately 3,000 were built and more than 1,000 are still believed to be in existence.
Strathtay Scottish operated a number of them in Dundee in the late 1980s.
In response to an inquiry on the firm’s Stagecoach East Scotland Facebook page, a spokesman said: “I can confirm the vehicles have arrived and full details will be advised in due course.”
