King George Square Bus Station sign with the BCC Clock tower found behind. KGS Bus Station also includes a 'Cycle Centre' where bikes can be stored on racks in a special storage area. A Very clever idea

Looks like they forgot to change the fleet number up on the gas pod for 1439!

Great photos todd.

lol, yeah W1388 is the same, has the code for Garden City on it's pod. Sometimes you can find one with three codes, and others with a blank depot code and just the fleet number as they change hands often.
