Alexander ALX300

The Alexander ALX300 was a low-floor single-deck bus body built in Falkirk, Scotland, first by Alexander and later by TransBus and Alexander Dennis, which is why it was also sold as the TransBus ALX300 and the Alexander Dennis ALX300. It was launched in 1997 to replace the Strider and the PS type. It shared the rounded roof dome, the deep double-curvature windscreen with plastic mouldings and the separate destination sign of the smaller ALX200 and the double-deck ALX400. Stagecoach was by far the biggest buyer, taking the first 23 on Volvo B10BLE chassis from 1998 and then hundreds more on MAN 18.220 chassis for its subsidiaries across Britain. Arriva, First Glasgow and independent operators such as East Yorkshire Motor Services bought smaller numbers. The last ALX300s were delivered to Stagecoach Yorkshire in 2007, after which Stagecoach moved to the Alexander Dennis Enviro300.
