One of his stops was outside my old close in Neilston Avenue. It must have been in use right into the 1980s, as I used to see it parked up outside a house on Paisley Road West, near the old Safeway. I guess by that time his son was running the show.

Great photo. Do you have any more? The Pollok Kist would be interested as they are trying to collect images of Pollok. There was a book of photos which I launched a couple of years back with lots of photos from the 70's of Priesthill.
I will scan the front cover and post it up soon.

Hi Neil
You must know my wife's family! They lived on Glenmuir Drive near Neilston.
