| THE RESTORATION
PROCESS (Page 3)
This page shows photos of the completed restoration
project. We thought it would be a nice touch to take
some photos at the original location of 484's depot,
now a prestige car dealership.

(Above) This is
the location of the Central SMT depot in
Bothwell Road, Hamilton where 484 was
garaged from
1954 to 1967. The site is now occupied by
Douglas Park's BMW dealership. |

(above) At the
Firstbus depot at Burnbank, Hamilton, 484 is
pictured beside a modern double decker.
Firstbus took over Kelvin Central which
included the original SMT company so this
shows the development
of bus transport. |

(above) These
two shots show 484 in between its modern
counterparts. 484 is of 1954 vintage, the
bus on the
right is from 1998 and the one on the left
is from 2008. |
