  • I was back at Bridgeton Garage again on 7th July 2019. This time for the 125 Years of Municipal Transport in Glasgow. There was a regular service between Bridgeton Garage, The City Centre and First Glasgow's Caledonia Depot. The video shows the buses in service and some of the GVVT buses in Bridgeton Garage and in First Glasgow's Caledonia Depot alongside a selection of the new route branded buses. Three of First's modern buses can be seen in Strathclyde Buses, Greater Glasgow PTE and Glasgow Corporation liveries.
    Many Thanks to everyone at GVVT and First Glasgow for a truly memorable day celebrating 125 years of Glasgow Transport.

    Great video I enjoyed it. It's great to see the old Glasgow buses from the 1960s to the 1980s pre first Glasgow. The down side is larkfield bus depot doesn't exist anymore there is going to be a housing development on the old site. I also ĺiķed the newer first bus dòuble and single deckers it's great.

    4:24: Now THAT is a proper bus! Looking as new. Sadly, none of Tayside's 'A' reg Ailsa buses survive.

    Certain cities should be certain colours. Part of the heartbeat of Glasgow is shown here. Whether it’s GCT, GGPTE. or SB colours they all feel more part of the city than First’s colour schemes ever will. The buses of Glasgow deserve Glasgow livery.

    Do you love this video? Then go to the Riverside museum in Glasgow. It is a museum of transport and it has old underground trains, trams, bikes, cars, buses and trains.

    When I worked at Caledonia Depot, it was full of buses/coaches from First (Manchester and Yorkshire) Ulsterbus, East Yorkshire, Metro, Travel West Midlands, Reading Buses, National Holidays to name few. Back then, during the Commonwealth Games 2014 it was Gushett Falls and wasn't even completed. Another 2 depots were used, Bridgeton and Cumbernauld

    The old Glasgow green and yellow livery looks really smart on the Wright Eclipse Gemini. If First Group could revert to traditional liveries in each city . . . . But forget Strathclyde orange and black - Glasgow's miles better!

      A year on and the 3 modern buses are still running around in their vintage colours, spotted the Strathclyde orange on the 41 route this morning
