A vintage double-decker bus which was the first across the Forth Bridge has made another trip across the Firth using the new Queensferry Crossing.
FRD199, a Bristol Lodekka FS6G fitted with an Eastern Coach Works 60-seat rear entrance body, was one of the last of its type purchased new by Alexanders (Fife).

Previous bus trips had to be made via Kincardine as the coaches were too heavy for the ferry.
Three years ago, the bus re-enacted the service for the Forth Road Bridge’s 50th anniversary and this week FRD199 and Scottish Vintage Bus Museum stablemate 1951 AEC Regent RT journeyed across the Queensferry Crossing.
Thought to be the only double-decker to traverse both the original and the new Forth bridges on their first day of opening, the bus is now back in the transport museum.
