KCB Network and Hutchison’s Jubilee liveried BuggyBus
Nearside view, allowing a clearer look (particularly when slightly zoomed) of the interior decorations to the Code 3 Hutchison’s of Overtown service bus model, such as the faux passenger signage etc.
Again, the model is pictured setting down at a stop for passengers to board and alight. Meanwhile, a passing Leyland Leopard Alexander Y-Type of KCB Network (formerly Kelvin Central Buses, now FirstBus), moves to overtake whilst passing by own Service 56 to Shotts, a small town on the Lanarkshire/Lothian border.
Currently home to a maximum security prison, HMP Shotts, Shotts also had a history with the bus trade as its news headline making clinical waste disposal plant is part of the former Cummins Diesel engine factory. Nearby, the small village of Hartwood used to be home to the largest Psychiatric Hospital in Europe at one time, however tragically following the introduction of the Care in the Community Act, the building fell into disrepair, victim to vandalism and wilful fire raising and it is now too dangerous to enter.
Both of these models have been rebuilt by me, taking older production models and disassembling them, before paint stripping, respraying and interior decoration. Most of my pictures get views in the low hundreds. That this picture has been seen by over 1.6k is phenomenal to me, so thank you for taking the time to look, and if you made it this far - thank you for reading this. It really is appreciated, and I love to share my work with other people. It’s a huge confidence booster, so thank you all.
