I have a PSV Circle Fleet History of Doncaster Corporation Transport and there are 2 pictures of buses in the Glasgow Padocks bus station, one is a Bristol L5G, Fleet Number 20 taken on 14th June 1959 and the other is of Fleet Number 128 ,AEC Regent 3 and was taken on 14th May 1960.

Where is (was?) the Glasgow Paddocks Bus Station?

[djebelgoraa]

Glasgow Paddocks Bus Station is now the large Pay and display car park in Waterdale across the road from the Central library, the car park which is near the law courts and college and tended to be used by out of town routes. These had previously used the triangle shaped area (also now a pay and display) in Waterdale opposite the Girls High School. There used to be a YTC office where that furniture shop is now (Wards I think?)

Yeah, it's Ward Brothers. I get where you mean now.

And some coach services (excursions I think) still use the triangular area.

Thanks for the info pal. ;D

I believe that some routes used to terminate on Printing Office Street - near the YBS.

Never heard of Glasgow Paddocks before, so thanks for posting this info.
