    Xmarkers turn up everywhere!


    After church today I went to Glasgow for the Bridgeton Garage Open Day. Bridgeton Garage is a former Glasgow municipal bus depot now run as a charity. The depot is now home to the city museums department fleet of vintage buses, to private vehicles whose owners rent garage space and to Roads to Recovery, a charity which enables former court customers and drug addicts to rebuild their self esteem for return to work by re-furbishing the old buses. I'd worked my free admission ticket the previous week by helping sweep out the depot so today I was there to enjoy and my x-marks kilt was spotted by fellow x-marker Jimmy from Old Kilpatrick in Dunbartonshire whom I would never have recognised in his unkilted disguise!

    Volunteer crew are always needed and I had driven this 1961 Leyland earlier in the year around the quiet streets near the depot. However, with 72 passenger seats it is the biggest bus which I have driven so far, and it has heavy manual steering so I have only driven it without passengers on the quiet streets near the depot and all my volunteer shifts on this bus have been as conductor. Today I left it to the more experienced to take the bus into the city centre and was content to take pictures. More to come shortly.
