The Alexander PS is a type of bus body built by Walter Alexander Coachbuilders, and was produced between the late 1980s and 1990s on Dennis Lance, Mercedes-Benz O405, Scania and Volvo B10M chassis. They normally seat around 49 passengers.
This style was originally built for Singapore Bus Services, but Stagecoach Group is also a big user of the type, many examples having been purchased for use in the UK. Many FirstGroup examples have been scrapped, but buses previously with Stagecoach have fared better, with many going on to lead second lives with local independent bus companies around Great Britain. The body was also sold in Hong Kong, for Kowloon Motor Bus and Stagecoach Hong Kong.
