‘Scene’ at the ‘Scottish Vintage Bus Museum’ at Lathalmond on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’ ‘Edinburgh Corporation Transport’ / ‘Lothian’ 1

It is hardly surprising that a bus museum located about 30 miles away from Edinburgh should attract so many buses from that great City.

Although built to resemble a full fronted bus both the right hand panel of the windscreen and the panel above the front wheel are unglazed.

 

This feature was presumably to allow easier access to the engine for maintenance purposes.

 

The chassis dates from 1943 when it was delivered to ‘London Transport’ as No. G77 registered GLL 577 with utility bodywork by Park Royal.

 

Purchased by ‘ECT’ in 1952 and re-bodied.
