Well I don't remember them personally, so it will have to be museum pics again

One of my favs. If only this tram could talk, it was there at the start of GCT.

Saw this picture over on Pie & Bovril, any idea the corporation that owned it ?

The bus is a Bristol Lodekka FLF, but not too sure which operator. Quite a few around the UK had these colours.

Been meaning to get a photo of this for ages. One of my neighbours has a shed made out of what looks like old bus body parts.

Bus front doors rain gutter above the rather posh (for a shed) door.

It's all aluminium panels, and underneath the darker layer of paint is what looks like faded Verona (GGPTE) Green.

I really should talk to my neighbours more

Many moons ago I was told that Margaret MacDonald Mackintosh (Charles Rennie's mrs) designed some of the Glasgow Corporation Tramways long service badges.
I'm trying to find some written evidence of this, has anyone here seen it noted in a biography or similar ?

Any info would be appreciated, ta
