STURMEY LATE NIGHT BUSES 18 Mar 21 2013, 8:32 PM EDT by wellfield

Can anyone remember the late night buses that used to leave from George Square in the early hours of the morning? I remember going to the dancing at the Barrowland and walking from the Gallowgate up to the Square to catch the bus home. I think the buses ran every hour on the half hour and the fare was one-and-nine pence. A lot of money way back in 1965. I used to catch the bus that took me to Balornock. I think it went along George Street, Duke Street, up on to Alexandra Parade. I can't remember the route after that. Am I right in thinking that it went through Barmulloch? My memory is playing tricks on me. I do remember that the bus went along Wallacewell Road and I got off at the bottom of Northgate Road. I had to walk up the road as I lived at the very top near to the NO. 8 bus terminus. My how times have changed. I didn't think anything of walking up that road on my own in the very early hours of the morning. Nowadays, I wouldn't even think of letting any of my kids walk home (even on a busy street) in the early hours of the morning. Life was so much simpler then, but I beg the question - were we really any safer? or do we just remember the good bits and forget about the nasty things that happened? MARGARET STURMEY.

remember getting the 4 and 35 bus from petershill road at midton street up to my aunties in burnbrae street. Remember if it was snowing ,the buses would always get half way up edgefauld road then get stuck,then they would have to slide back down in reverse to the bottom.

from Dundas street bus station,Walter Alexander also operated from the same bus station to Kilsyth their livery being blue,they were both in the same group named the British
Electric Traction.
