We used to sing about those buses at the football.

We get this here too. It's funny how there's always a direct way past for cars...

For this, and for other summer events, they block the busiest cycling route in the area, NCN75.

I was told to cycle on the grass this morning, entering the green from London road.
The road and paths were covered in trucks and equipment , no signs and no attempt to leave any clear way through.

You need to pass by the Blue Bridge, at the distillery, till it's over.

I was heading along the road towards the people's palace and Free Wheel North.
Looks like it will be easier just to stay on London road for the next couple of weeks.

The Green bike counter looks set to pass 100,000 any day now.

I may regret asking this, but what did you sing?

I reckon it must be this little number that they gather round and sing on a Saturday afternoon at Parkhead:



Only in Glasgow could they choose a colour for the buses that winds up half the population. Then they decide to wind up the other half by bringing out this colour scheme:

I must be getting old,
I hardly recognised any of the Main Stage performers at this '19 Trnsmt (did Wahoo name this)..
I think @Brandane should pay a visit with his ever present rain cloud to the Green...

Now that's culture that is. But couldn't they at least make sure the image of the bus was in the centre of the projection?

They still paint them orange? Wow. I have to say though, Double-Decker buses have improved in the last 18 years...

Not for many years.
The above is a new "limited edition" one.

There are three specially painted buses to celebrate 125 years

Not just Glasgow, Edinburgh do it too -

Though they used to be more even handed when SMT / Eastern Scottish ran the out of town services.

The Corporation buses are Green , white and gold
Green , white and gold
Green, white and gold

That's why they're so good.
