Readers of last month's issue will know that we had travelled from Bedford to Glasgow and gone to bed exhausted yet almost too excited to sleep - so great was the prospect of the locoshed mecca awaiting us in Scotland's largest city. We set forth early the next morning in high anticipation of filling our books with numbers we'd only ever dreamt of! It was a Sunday and we walked briskly east along Sauchiehall Street to High Street for the 101 trolley-bus to Polmadie (66A), the former Caledonian Railway depot. Up until now, we had spent the grand total of ￡2 6s 2d on rail travel, together with 1s 1d on bus fares, but during the coming day we would spend as much as 4s 6d on 15 buses, with prices ranging from a penny ha'penny to ninepence per journey. Such was the price of travel in those halcyon days.
