Sunday rambling
I had a go around town today, but not long after I left the house, I could see some diversions. Traffic was being sent in both directions via the usually one-way Barrack Street! You can also marvel at my picture of Friarfield House - once the base of Dundee Corporation and then Tayside Regional Council city bus unit. The small door on the right hand side of the picture used to be the parcel office, but ended as the lost property office. This building ceased to have any public transport function shortly before deregulation in 1986, when TRC moved to Parker Street (about to become flats for the Uni of Abertay), and lost property of what was then TRC, then became Tayside Buses, moved to Commercial Street. Anyway, at the junction of Barrack Street and Bank Street/Willison Street, you can see why it was made one way upon the Overgate car park opening!
There were lots of "private hire" coaches floating around Dundee - any ideas why? I got to Discovery Point, and saw one of the Wisharts Mercedes on a private hire. The bagpipes were played as they arrived at the visitor centre, although this was later than you'd normally get a coach party.
Then there was this... now, it's against the light... but it's Travel Greyhound TC26 (USU 662) on the 973 Citylink from Oban - well, blanked blinds, but a 973 hand-written card in the window - or was it 9A? The bus was packed all the way back to Dundee. This was R92 GTM when I was in London, for CCS, and then used as an Airbus/National Express Airport vehicle.
Went to Tesco, then home!
