Sunday 29 July 1990 (approx. 2110) – Tayside Travel Services was the Scottish subsidiary of National Express based in Perth, Scotland which administered the Caledonian Express brand. DST486 (C895 CSN), a Duple 320 bodied DAF MB230 new to Stagecoach, Perth in June 1986, had just arrived at Drummer Street coach station in Cambridge on the joint National Express/Caledonian Express service 377 from Dundee from where it left at 0650. In October 1989 National Express acquired the Scotland-England services of Stagecoach and set up Caledonian Express north of the border.
