Past pictures that lack a pointer to the present

摘要

Hugh Dougherty is impressed that the recently refurbished subway beneath the platforms at Kilmarnock railway station includes a honeycomb of pictures of buses and trams among historic scenes of the Ayrshire town's life and times. The bus scenes include the old Western SMT bus station, which Hugh remembers as 'hellish' during his time as a Western driver at Thornliebank in 1972. It had been built for 7ft 6in-wide buses, and the challenge was to take an 8ft-wide Leyland Titan PD3/3 or Daimler Fleetline through without leaving either or both mirrors behind.
