Buses of Clydeside Scottish and Clydeside 2000

Based in Renfrewshire, Clydeside Scottish was a member of the Scottish Bus Group and was created soon before privatisation of the bus from part of Western SMT's area. Covering the Clyde coast from Largs in Ayrshire into Renfrewshire and Glasgow, its distinctive yellow and red buses numbered some 330 on formation of the company in 1985. Soon, the company was operating in Glasgow against Strathclyde Buses, with a fleet of ex-London Route masters. In 1991, the company became Clydeside 2000 when sold. Eventually becoming a part of Arriva Buses, the company was sold in 2011. The name has gone but Clydeside Scottish left a legacy in the local area and four buses are currently preserved in the distinctive red and yellow.
