The Hidden Glasgow Forums

Oops, don't know what happened to your piccy Alycidon, yes Cunarder 1297 operated in Blackpool for the 1985 Electric Tramway Centenary. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/kendeluk/Photo0083.jpg After an overhall, and repaint into it's original livery, it was one of the stars at the Glasgow Garde...

Yeah Central's old Leyland Leopards. I still remember the trips from Drumchapel to Clydebank in those, refined they weren't :D 8O I'd loved to have had a look around the old depots & stores, collecting old GCT stuff is a hobby of mine. Don't suppose you've any old gear up in the attic :wink:

Wow, thanks for the piccys ghiribizzo 8O Yep it's a Lothian Region Transport Atlantean, I think the full reg is GSC 637X, dating from 1981. Lothian Transport kept the black reg plates going for longer than other places. The destination board style is also ok for that date. http://img.photobucket.com...

Found a few more :-) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/kendeluk/Govan01.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/kendeluk/Clyde03.jpg (Lovely pic) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/kendeluk/Clyde02.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/kendeluk/GW14.jpg Copyright: Eastbank MRC.

There appears to be a red/faded orange Atlantean with the later style 'wide' front indicator board in a yard in Cupar, Fife behind another double decker. The other bus didn't catch my eye though. Is the Atlantean 'known' about or is it worthwhile having a look for an 'LAxxx' plate? 8O Interesting. ...

Hmmm, I must admit i'm not sure whereabouts they are on my computer :oops: (i'm not very organised) I think these are a few of them, but not sure :? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/kendeluk/Gw01.jpg (Yayyy, Atlanteans :D ) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/kendeluk/GW03.jpg http://img.ph...

So is the admin going to go with this idea ?

I quite like those beef & cheese toasted deli sandwiches McD do now.

No it's Brian, my favourite character from "Family Guy" (Thursdays on the FX channel).
Best US comedy on tv right now, kicks the arse out of the Simpsons.

Has this site been mentioned before on here ? (I did do a search...honest :wink: ) http://www.eastbank.btinternet.co.uk/index.htm Some great pics of the 'Blue Trains', among other things, including reminisces of Glasgow model shops :D that brought back a lot of memories. One thing missing, their sit...
