GCT LA1456 JAL879N
JAL879N was a Leyland Atlantean AN68/1R / East Lancs H78D new as Nottingham City Transport number 609 in May 1975. It was acquired by Strathclyde Buses to replace buses lost in the Larkfield fire and the centre doors were removed by Glasgow coachbuilders Bennetts. After use by SBL for a couple of years, it was cascaded into the low-cost GCT unit and was repainted into green and yellow. However rather embarrassingly it had to be used by the main SBL fleet during a vehicle shortage, but it would be renumbered to GLA10 when it finally reached GCT in 1993.
