Argyle Street 1969 looking towards Central Station and the Heilemans Umbrella (central station bridge, otherwise known as the Highlandmans umbrella as they used to shelter under it from the rain when they came south). Anyways look what we have on the left

Great find mate. That looks like where the old Tower Records was right where the LR's at. Across the road there was an original KFC that sold the best spare ribs in the world. Not like the ****e they churn out now.

Nope, the pic shows where wetherspoons would be now. Tower records was under the bridge on the right hand side

Would love to know the company livery on the series

Is it not from the early Clyde Tunnel livery?

Yes they did. In my time they were blur and cream and used to sit on the slip on the North Bank. I haven't seen them since the 80's though.

the_wolf · Dec 10, 2014

Ah those would have been the old corporation colours, red and cream or maroon and cream. The trams and subway trains used to be painted in them too. The landy certainly isn't corporation colours

the_wolf · Dec 10, 2014

Red and white actually, my apologies. The colours before that were plum and cream but that was prior to 1960s

They still have Defender 90 pickups, you'll see them if there's a breakdown in the tunnel or when they close one side for roadworks. I think they're based in a yard at the Govan end these days.

I would love to know if that's what it was for, the tunnel was certainly open then.

Some interesting facts bout it I just came across http://www.holdyourbreath.org/facts/facts.html

Interesting. Having used the cycle tunnel I was surprised to find it runs under the road.
