Comment	Corporation Bus colours (going back to the 30s I think). The organisation of the buses changed over the decades from early 1900s to 1970s, but essentially in that period it was all run by the city. Then when it was run regionally by SPT, they took the its orange colouring and branding, the buses being branded as "Strathclyde Buses". In between, for a very short time, they had the corporation colours, but were branded as "Trans Clyde Transport", along with subway stations and trains within the Greater Glasgow area. I think this was a short-lived attempted to unify all regional transport around Glasgow, eventually replaced when SPT was created.
