From Manchester we go even further north to Greenock, a town on the Clyde estuary west of Glasgow. However, there is a common theme as both photos show Citroen vans with Welsh registration numbers! CN68CNC is a Citroen Berlingo van used by McGills, a name that has a long history as an 'independent' operator. The current operation is not directly descended from the original, which was bought out by Clydeside 2000 in 1997. The name returned to the streets in 2001 when the Greenock depot of Arriva Scotland West (which Clydeside 2000 had become) was sold. Growth and takeovers of other companies followed, and by 2012 McGills was able to purchase the remainder of the once large Arriva Scotland West operation. Although it is technically still an 'independent', it now has a fleet of over 400 buses. |
