VIDEO: Step back in time as Glasgow bus garage opens collection of over one hundred vintage vehicles to the public

A Glasgow bus garage is opening its doors to the public to offer visitors the chance to step back in time.

The Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust’s Bridgeton garage currently houses 127 vehicles, dating from the 1930s to the 2000s.

Tomorrow, visitors will be able to take a stroll round the collection, and step aboard a special shuttle service on a preserved bus from the city centre to travel to the former Glasgow Corporation depot 1960s style.

Far from just being old buses, the colourful array of vehicles on display hold plenty of memories and stories from days gone by.

Among those on show are a bus from Malta dating back to 1932, and a Leyland Leopard single-decker which will allow visitors to see what it’s like to sit behind the wheel of a bus.

Also on show will be the open-top double-decker that carried the Scotland 1978 World Cup squad around Hampden ahead of their ill-fated campaign in Argentina.

There are also a number of fire engines and other working vehicles to see.

Almost all of the vehicles were built in or have served in Scotland, and span a wide array of operators, manufacturers and service areas.

The collection shows the progression in design and manufacturing over the years, as well as various operators that are no longer carrying passengers around the country.

The majority of the vehicles are privately owned, with their owners spending fortunes on repairing and maintaining their pride and joys.

Established in 2002, the GVVT charity aims to develop a working museum for vintage and historic buses and commercial vehicles.

The garage has been used in filming for Hattie and Not Another Happy Ending, and will be seen again in upcoming drama The Victim, starring Kelly Macdonald.

The GVVT are currently working on a fundraising drive, aiming to secure £100,000 to help purchase the garage.
