Eric Arthur Blair Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Tremendous clip of tramcars in the 50s, a large part of which focuses on Paisley and renfrew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems ok for me. haven't clicked it to play yet (I'm listening to the match) but the image is of a tram at passing the Cenotaph. I think. Are you getting that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antrin Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Just watched that tram fillum! (The link IS fine.) brilliant. So many views of a long-gone Paisley and nearby. What I found remarkable are those ghost streets: wide, open and empty avenues WITH NO CARS PARKED AND CLUTTERING EVERYWHERE UP. ta for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting a Single decker Western bus in 1983 from Paisley to Newquay. Just an ordinary every day single decker without seat headrests and no bog. Probably shouldn't have taken such a big carry out, given the lack of toilet facilities. Never have I been so glad to see Carlisle bus station. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Newquay in 1974 from the Babcock social club in Renfrew. Bus was like you,r but lucky for us there was a pick up in Glasgow. Went again the following year but didn't make the same mistake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left at 6pm arriving around 9am. No motorway after Bristol didn't help. Drove it around 1992 through the night in about 9hrs/ 10hrs I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
