It was appropriate that the call from Stephen Morris, suggesting I consider succeeding him as editor of Buses, should have come at the then Millar home in Glasgow on a Saturday afternoon in October 1998. Three of my pivotal moments with this magazine occurred on Saturdays in the city of my birth. I have been fascinated - obsessed even -by buses from early childhood, attracted by the sights and distinctive sounds of double-deck corporation buses and trams on the five routes along Woodlands Road near our home in Glasgow's West End in the mid-1950s. My interest was sustained by the acquisition of books on the subject, and the none-too-subliminal sales message on the back covers of those from the Ian Allan fold suggested my life would be incomplete without a monthly magazine then called Buses Illustrated. |
