Glasgow independents or small companies

[Glasgowbusguy]

Thought this thread might be helpful as information on these companies can be hard to come by and threads for each company, would become easily lost.
From memory the main independents are
Colchri
Glasgow community transport
North area transport association
PVT
Glasgow city bus (I know there part of a bigger group but the Glasgow city bus network operates pretty independently)

Also looking to see if anyone has any fare information on service 100

Yup also McColls and a few others, although I can't believe I forgot Avondale as I used them a lot over the years.

There are existing threads for two of the companies mentioned in this thread:

Avondale

Avondale Coaches

Mod note: split from First Glasgow thread The 42 was popular even when the 1C started to be fair through Garscadden and Polnoon Avenue. It was either really old double deckers or really small single deckers that ended up on it though which I found strange at the time. I'm surprised First never...

Glasgow Citybus

West Coast Motors & Borders Buses

I think we should have a new thread to keep the First Midland bluebird thread clear. Details of the sell off can be viewed here: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=130883&page=11 * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bordersbuses/ * Twitter: https://twitter.com/bordersbuses * Website...
