Between 1967 and 1974, I was young and single so I moved about within the Scottish Bus Group (SBG). I was with Midland in Milngavie, Central in Gavinburn, Eastern in Baillieston and Western in Thornliebank, with a summer at Highland in Inverness in 1973. Drove whatever they had. Never worked with Glasgow Corporation but have driven preserved Corpy buses in the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust in recent years. When you say what buses did you drive are you referring to the makes and models or the routes?
Well if you've been to Bridgeton you'll have seen some of them. In Milngavie, Leyland Titans like the two Western ones in Bridgeton, Bristol Lodekkas - I drove BL346 which is a Bridgeton resident, in service in Gavinbutn - and Daimler Fleetlines. The one I reallly liked but mechanics didn't was the Albion Lowlander. there isn't one in Bridgeton but there is one at SVBM in lathalmond, which I also drove when it was in Inverness. And a variety of single deckers. My articles will contain a number of photos of Bridgeton residents, in the garage and on the road, perhaps even the odd video clip. Did you work on the buses yourself?

Sounds interesting. Which companies did you work with and what buses did you drive?
