British Trolleybuses - Glasgow
Route 105 ran from Queens Cross in the City Centre to a terminus near Clarkston Station in the south of the City. The terminus was here on Mearns Road.
On the right is a typical Scottish tenement block. It is worth noting that these were not the preserve of working class areas; there were many of appropriate quality in middle class areas too.
