Before my time too, I only remember Western. MacBraynes still had buses in my younger days though. Thanks for the pointer about The Western Story, I must have a look for it. There was a sad ending to the Dunlop buses story. Everything was left to his only daughter and she met a man who ran off with all the cash. Not the first time it has happened and I'm sure won't be the last.
