Glasgow Corporation Transport : One Way Street System showing alterations to bus stops & routes in the city centre : Glasgow, Scotland : 17 November 1963 : map

            On 17 November 1963 major changes took place to the street network in Glasgow's city centre. Glasgow's noted 'grid system' did, in some ways, make such a change at first sight simpler and the change must also have been assisted by the final removal of street tramway operation in the city the previous year.

The new 'one way' system necessitated major changes in the 'flexible' pattern of motor bus operation across the city centre and Glasgow Corporation Transport issued this small card folder detailing the changes to routes, stops and showing the new traffic flows.

The changes, along with the introduction of parking, waiting and loading restrictions, are mentioned in the GCT Annual Report for 1964 as helping speed up the flow of bus operation and an extension to the one way system was introduced on 23 February 1964. Sadly this 'speeding up' of services was shortlived as subsequent annual reports increasingly note that despite the abandonment of the trams, one streets and Glasgow's new central area motorway traffic speeds continued to fall.
