First Glasgow 32615 [DV73] (SF54 TKZ), High Street, 31 July 2021. (c) K. Hay.
Restoration status
Fully restored
New in late 2004, 32615 (or DV73 for certain “internal purposes”) was part of a large batch of 84 buses, the first lowfloor double deckers for the Glasgow fleet.
This bus spent its entire working life in Glasgow, being withdrawn in 2022 and immediately entering preservation at Bridgeton.
Restoration was completed into full “Barbie” livery in 2026 and launched at the October 2026 Bridgeton Bus Fest event.
There is a Facebook page for this bus and other members of the Glasgow Volvo Buses in preservation group.
