I can't remember its name, but I do remember all the bus stops on the Abbey side of the road and if I remember rightly these were some of the Glasgow buses that came along Canal St and then round by the Abbey before turning right onto Gauze St. I think that would be the Ardrossan bus, and the Gourock and Greenock via Bridge of Weir buses! I used to travel to and from school on the Largs/West Kilbride/Seamill buses which came along Broomlands/Wellmeadow/ High Street on the way to Glasgow and Cotton Street/ Bridge Street/George Street on the way to the Ayrshire coast. As I recall, the Adrossan and Greenock/Gourock buses followed the same route. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe it or not, but I think it was called, "Glasgow's", if my memory services me right 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a fleeting thought it might have been called Dunlop's, but that too was just a random name that went through my old computer that is called my brain. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
