Yeah, a car went on fire along the usual route and so everything got diverted. I later got the ex-Lothian Dart (SK52 OJE) to Dunfermline and we went via the M90 and Halbeath.

Do they at least have any E400 Tridents? Or any kind of open topper left?
@bustrainchaser9325 күн бұрын
There was 19046 (originally intended for the Craig Tara service but never happened!) but that has since went up to Bluebird. Only open topper I think West Scotland even have now is semi-preserved Leyland Titan 11083, which very rarely comes out and even when it does, it's used as a form of advertising from what I gather.

Does anyone else of a 'certain' age remember the 'Matchbox' model (today I guess we would describe as 4mm scale) of these wonderful Atlantean's with Alexander bodies? I loved mine and still have it! I liked the style because they were unknown to us in Swansea, South Wales, through that period, our buses were AEC Regents by MCW, Willowbrook and Park Royal. Love the engine noise and great to see the vehicle so immaculate...better than when new!

Is this the 907th Glasgow Atlantean? The registrations did not match the fleet numbers. How many Atlanteans did Glasgow have and also Fleetlines?
@waverleyproductions1947Ай бұрын
Glasgow had 1,448 Atlanteans delivered between 1958 and 1982, and as far as I know there was only ever one Fleetline delivered new (SGD 730 in 1963). Unlike a lot of other fleets Glasgow's buses didn't have matching fleetnumbers/registrations, although some of them weren't far off; as an example, 1961 Leyland Titan PD3 L446 is registered SGD 448.

Are you sure this was new as a Volvo demonstrator? Bus Lists on the Web says this was new to Harrogate & District, while the only Volvo demonstrator from 2003 listed on that site has the registration of BX03 BKU (which is oddly listed as being new in December 2003, surely it should be BX53 and not BX03).
