RM471 in Glasgow

I'd like to have a decent photo of RM471 in the blue & yellow livery used in Glasgow in the late 1980s and early 1990s to display at RM60 to show the history of the bus.

This one is a bit fuzzy.

Please email me (link below) if you can help.

Many thanks

My bus number (if any): RMs 238, 471. 2213 & GS17

If you email me off the forum, I have a good photo of RM471 when she first entered Kelvin Scottish service on Route 301 to Bridgeton via Easterhouse I can send to you in an attachment. I was actually the last Kelvin driver to drive 471 when she was withdrawn from service, driving her from Anderston Bus Station back to Stepps Depot.

Re: RM471 in Glasgow

I'm having trouble accessing other people's emails when I do that Graham, anyway Chris emailed me and the photo has been sent to him.

RM471 is of course one of the lucky minority of Kelvin Routemasters to survive Chris, two are still in Scotland, RM606 at the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum, Lathalmond,Fife and RM910 at the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust, Bridgeton which is preserved in Kelvin Scottish livery.
