This lovely yellow and red single decker is a 1950 Albion Valiant CX39N, with a Duple C33F body. It was originally operated by Hutchison of Overtown. ​

The bus was sold to Tuer of Morland, (near Penrith). Later, it returned to Scotland, and operate as part of the Highland Bus Service.

At this point, I can't find any specific routes in which this bus was in service, but I'll delve deeper later.

This little blue beauty is the Leyland Lion LT5B, built in August 1934. It was powered by one of the first 6-cylinder 8.6-litre diesel engines and in 1947, it was re-bodied by Burlingham.

Operated by Alexander & Sons limited as fleet number P169, it serviced the Glasgow to Inverness route in the first 10 years of service.

P169 is part of the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust collection at Bridgeton Bus Garage.

Isn't she a beauty? Click photo to enlarge.
