Retired male from Scotland who has recently discovered a new interest in vintage buses. I hope to post some of the photographs I've taken.
I'm pleased to say that the Vintage Buses website is up and running now. The delay was due to personal factors, but I'm back on top and looking forward to posting more photos, etc.

Happy Easter from us.
I've managed to find my original video of the 1928 Leyland Titan TD1 double decker bus, currently displayed by the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust at Bridgeton Garage.

Here's an off-topic question for UK readers:
In the 1960s either the Beano or the Dandy comic had a comic strip in which there was a flying craft equipped with rescue gear, much like Thunderbird Two, although this craft had a pointed nose and a glass cockpit.
What was it called?

How dare the Riverside Museum in Glasgow push this fine specimen of a Glasgow-built bus against a wall! 😡 This bus should take center stage.
This Albion Venturer was built by Albion Motors Glasgow specifically for Glasgow Corporation Transport in 1949. It was withdrawn from service in 1963.

Here's treat for all you Routemaster enthusiasts, not only do you get to see the very last Routemaster being renovated, you see the skills of the signwriter as he tries to recreate the advertising displayed on the bus while it was in service.

Today’s historic pic: Melbourne W7 class tram 1028 on route 10 at Richardson St in Mills St, Middle Park, November 26 1988. Forty W7s were built in 1955/56 for newly opened Bourke Street lines in the lead up to the 1956 Olympic Games. 1028 was withdrawn in 1996, just the second W7 to be withdrawn.

Amazing score yesterday. Walked past builders doing a house renovation and this was on the pavement with the other waste. They said I could take it. A 1979 Condor Italia probably last ridden around 1992.

Had the pleasure of riding behind 'Russell' up to Beddgelert on the WHR yesterday morning.
Pictured is the afternoon service passing through the iconic Aberglaslyn Pass!

Here is the extracted text from the image:
A few years ago, four feral black cats came to our back door every morning to get fed. We were told by neighbours that they were from the same family. One by one, they gradually disappeared. #cats #blackcats #feralcats
