GVVT was at the centre of the fun on the annual children’s Glasgow taxi run to Troon.
More than 300 kids with additional support needs were ferried to the beach in a multi-coloured, horn-blasting convoy of 120 decorated cabs and our own Volvo Olympian open-topper, writes Ed Bonner.
Organised by the Glasgow Taxi Outing Fund, the event has taken place every year since 1947, except for two runs cancelled by Covid. This year’s trip, on Midsummer’s Day, was the seventh featuring GVVT vehicles.
Keeping the Olympian on course and the passengers entertained were Archie Houliston, Joan Flanagan, Brian Ritchie, Kate Kivlichan and Robert Williams.
Joan said: “We carried more than 100 kids at various points throughout the day. The open-topper is a big draw.
“It was a wonderful trip, full of fun. We set out in rain from Kelvin Way, but by the time we paraded through the city and steered south, the sun smiled on us.
“This was my second taxi run, and it was a pleasure to be part of it.”
