Paisley Buddies Transport - 1978 - a photo on Flickriver

Paisley Buddies Transport - 1978

            Paisley Cross on a bright, sunny, 2nd June 1978, and judging by the lightly clad Buddies, a warm day.   Approaching the camera is Western SMT Bristol Lodekka, XCS959, which entered service in 1964.  Meanwhile an Austin FX series taxi waits to make a right turn into Gilmour Street.   In the distance, an Alexander bodied Daimler Fleetline of Western SMT approaches from High Street, while a Western SMT Leyland Leopard single decker with Alexander Y-type coachwork recedes away westwards up High Street.  The distinctive spire of Coats Memorial Church is visible in the background.  Note also the interesting mix of shop fronts on Moss Street.   Scanned from an original slide which I purchased with copyright on e-bay.
