For more than a century, Glasgow’s buses have been part of the city’s heartbeat, from the green/cream ‘Corpy’ days, to the multi-coloured private operator buses serving the city today.

Founded in 1920 by Arthur Mayne, A Mayne & Son began as a small Manchester garage and haulage business before turning its focus to passenger transport.

Ribble Motor Services was more than just a bus company, it was an integral part of everyday life across Lancashire.

McGill’s Bus Services is based in Greenock and covers most of the west of Scotland. It is the largest private bus company in Scotland and the sixth largest in the UK.

Graham’s of Paisley was a highly regarded independent local bus company in Scotland. It ceased operations in 1990 and is sorely missed. They went that little bit extra for their passengers.
