First Glasgow boxes clever with new fleet of eco-friendly buses
First Glasgow went all out to launch its fleet of 75 new buses for the city of Glasgow recently with the promise of more to follow. The city’s largest bus

location with a day of entertainment and laughs hosted by Capital Scotland and breakfast host Des Clarke with live music from Busker Tommy McGuire and Radiophonic Tuckshop frontman Joe Kane. The new Double
