<dc:title>Bridgeton Bus Garage</dc:title>
<dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The last purpose-built Glasgow Corporation bus garage. Home to the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust, it contains vintage buses, commercial vehicles and transport-related artefacts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Bridgeton Bus Garage was built for Glasgow Corporation Transport and opened in 1965. It�s a good example of industrial architecture from that era. The garage operated buses till 1976 (only 11 years). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It was later used as a local authority internal transport depot before being leased by Glasgow City Council to the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust in 2003. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The garage is now well established as a heritage centre for buses and commercial vehicles. It�contains vehicles ranging from hulks rescued from scrap yards to fully restored and active examples. The vehicles we have revive memories of years gone by with a wide variety of makes, models and liveries long since disappeared from our streets. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;During Doors Open Day, guided tours give visitors a �behind the scenes� look at the building and its facilities. The tours also explain what it was like when it was a working bus garage. The restoration activities currently in progress�include the Trust�s �Back on the Road� project which gives those in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction problems skills and work experience to prepare them for future employment. We have a variety of smaller transport-related artefacts from our archives on display such as destination boxes from trams and old uniforms. Finally, and not to be forgotten, there is our &quot;Clippie's Caf�&quot;.��&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;�&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;http://www.gvvt.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;https://www.facebook.com/BridgetonGarage/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;https://twitter.com/gvvtglasgow&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
