Feb 26 2008, 4:54 PM EST I rode this bus very often as I had a boyfriend( who became my husband in 1957) who lived at the terminus in Milton(Scaraway st.) so I have very fond memories of travelling on this bus. Do you find this valuable? |

I took that bus for such a long time at my old Granny lived in possilpark. Do you find this valuable? |

Jul 20 2008, 3:33 PM EDT I remember the #8 well, i used to get it at the bottom of Red road to Carlyle street (off Keppochill road) when I was going to my work in Cowlairs Loco works, I also remember the #16 came from Knightswood to Balornock( I'm sure the terminus was in Eastburn road), also the #16a went to Balornock East(turned left at the top of Red road, I think the terminus was in Ryehill road), the #4 went from Drumoyne to Balornock(terminus at Albert school)it turned off Petershill road onto Edgefauld road up the hill to Barmulloch road, then there was the #35 which went from Carntyne to Balornock, took the same route as the #4 from Petershill road to Balornock,( I think the terminus was in Wallacewell road) Do you find this valuable? |
