Have liked your Swiss photos as I go that country on average twice a year.

Yes Western SMT does originate from the old Scottish bus groups, served my engineering apprenticeship with them.
Lucky you going to Switzerland twice a year.

Coincidence I workeds for Ribble Motor Services for some 28 years mainly as the Traffic Superintendent at the local depot. We ran joint services with Western on quite a few routes from Lancashire to Scotland and the overnight non stop Birmingham to Glasgow service.
Happy days remembered.
Iwill shortly be posting some of my more recent Swiss photos, but just at the moment I am suffering from a cold which started in February just after my first visit to Switzerland this year






























All the best
