Buses


The following buses passed through Springburn in the seventies:

No 45 Colston to Carnwadric
No 37 Springburn to Castlemilk
No 53 Springburn to Sheildhall
No 52 Springburn to Penilee
No 4 Balornock to Drumoyne
No 35 Balornock to North Carntyne

Bluebird buses also operated through Springburn Road but you could hop on one at the stop just along from the Eureka but then couldn't get off until you were at the start of Bishopbriggs a couple of stops past old Colston School.

I was going to play my first works golf match at Pollock Golf Club. Jumped on the 45 at McNees at placed my little tartan golf bag with assorted clubs under the stair ( as you did in the 50's) and went upto the top deck. As the bus swung round the bend approaching Petershill road I heard an almighty clatter. Fearing for my precious clubs I rushed down the stair and threw myself off the bus, ran back and picked up a length of COPPER PIPE. Fortunatetly the bus had stopped at the next stop and I was able to chase it and just managed to jump on to be greeted by a wee plumber saying " I widnae have bothered son, I've still gote another bit".
I won the golf match.

I used the 37 to get to work in Alexandra Transport and sometimes the 18 to go all the way to Rutherglen when I started going out with my now husband who lived there.
