Baxter's bus, no.70, Airdrie Bus Station ? 1970
Baxter's ran a substantial network of town services in Airdrie until 1962 when the company was bought by Eastern Scottish, the main operator in the area. Initially buses were painted in standard Eastern Scottish green, but a local outcry saw a reversal of this, and the local identity was re-instated, eventually being phased out by 1977.
No.70 is a Leyland PD2/41, with lowbridge body by Massey Bros of Wigan, new in 1959, representing Baxter's standard vehicle through the 1950s. It also carried Eastern Scottish fleet number HH38.
The bus station site is now occupied by Airdrie Sheriff Court.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Old Fine Fare and DHSS, Airdrie (under demolition)
Stevie Spiers took a similar picture in May 2009 www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1300170
Progress has been slow - the demolition work appears to be being
done at a snails pace and more recently has almost ground to a halt.
These "carbuncles" will certainly not be missed!
