I know I have a copy somewhere but can't readily find it.
Might also be worth your while checking with the Mitchell Library - Glasgow Room / Special Archives for other photographs/plans

In particular I'm looking for:
Pictures of it's former Newton Mearns depot (the site now occupied by the Mearns X shopping centre car park)
Any written history of the above
Pictures of the old Waterloo St Bus Station, with any Western Buses present.
Grateful for any pointers in the right direction.

If you can get hold of a copy of a book called "Western Way" which was written by Neil Macdonald in 1983 then you will get all the information that you could possibly need about Western SMT. Alternatively get in touch with the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust which is based at the old bus depot in Fordneuk Street, Bridgeton. Someone there will help you.
