First Glasgow Scania L113CRL/Wright Axcess Ultralow
Possibly the oldest bus still in service with the First Glasgow fleet, 61478 (P106MFS) is a bit of a survivor. It was actually part of the first batch of low-floor buses ordered following the takeover of SB Holdings , parent company of Strathclyde’s Buses, GCT and Kelvin Central Buses - by Firstbus and arrived to Strathclyde’s Buses part of the business as its SS6. It was part of a batch built for Scania stock and even pre-dated the Firstbus standard interior, arriving in the dreary all-over red with grey Greater Glasgow fleetnames that Firstbus saw fit to afflict on Glasgow at that time. It still carries its grey seats and the eagle-eyed can spot them in the photo. Retired from frontline service it’s now doing the valuable role of a driver trainer in this rather dull livery. A possible preservation candidate maybe.
