SBL C14 A741RNS Lockerbie 9th May 1993
Strathclyde Buses C14 was one of a pair of early Metroliners, and were part of then Strathclyde PTE's early pioneering work in offering wheelchair accessible vehicles to those with disabilities, with all manner of vehicles delivered or converted to accessible configurations. The unusual two leaf entrance door can be seen, which behind which a wheelchair lift could be deployed. The entire nearside of the seating was on runners and could be removed to fix down wheelchairs.
It is seen here in Lockerbie in May 1993, on the way back to Glasgow from one of the Metro centre rallies, with a group of SBL drivers and their chums on board. I drove it part of the way south, and recall it being a lovely coach to drive, smooth, quiet and fast on the flat, however the kickdown wasn't working therefore it was poor on hills.
By this time it was a solitary vehicle, its sister C13 having been destroyed in the Larkfield depot fire of 1992.
