i drove those magicbus's in 1988 and lasted all but one day before going to work for strathclyde buses at possil garage, fuck me what a company magicbus were work for. think i started at 08am and finished at 10pm if i remember correctly and i think they operated at that time from a depot at cheapside street and they had a portacabin in st enoch square as well if i'm not mistaken?

excellant! this takes me back to my time as a driver in possilpark 1988-95 a cunt of a job but great guy's to work with. i hated the 1300's or automatic la's as the gearchange on them was fucking horrific by the time you had done 4 1/2 hours on the 48 you had serious whiplash lmfao

Ailsa's were nice to drive and sliding door was great for hot weather although i think i'm half deaf in one ear from sitting next to engine
