The seats
were delivered to the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust's
premises at Bridgeton Bus Garage during the third week of
October from where First Coach Trimming of Dalmarnock,
Glasgow collected them for re-upholstering.
There were at least three different colours of vinyl on the
seats, dark tan, mid tan and a dark green colour. We have
plumped for a mid tan which most closely matches the colour
of the majority of the seats. The foam material has also
been renewed. Although it had some life left in it, Andy of
First recommended that it would make sense to renew the foam
at this stage and replace it with fire retardant material.
All this work was successfully completed by the end of
October and the seats delivered back to Bridgeton Bus Garage
in early November.
Meanwhile the seat frames are being wire brushed and
prepared for painting at Lathalmond, although we have still
to decide on the appropriate colour and treatment for the
seat backs.
