The other five Leyland PS1s, CWG331-2/3-6, were in the Alexander Northern fleet being 1948 chassis with 1950 Burlingham Sun Saloon bodies. Having full-fronted bodies, there was no external evidence of the conversion work, although they did have rear reversing lights. CWG334-6 was converted in October 1964 to operate a three-day cycle of rural services from Aberdeen to the villages of Lumphanon and Strathdon. In May 1965, they were transferred to Ballater depot, as Northern had taken over the business of Strachan’s Deeside Omnibus Service, which had five Fodens individually converted for OMO operation with a manual control door linkage, but without the triangular adaptation used by Alexander. All of these were withdrawn by the end of the year. Plaxton-bodied EYS222 and Roberts-bodied GSA303 were photographed at the terminus in Aberdeen
