DUNDEE

As we approach the city from the east, we pass the depot of what was called Tayside Regional Transport, previously Dundee Corporation.

 One of the city's tourist attractions is RRS Discovery.

In the city centre, the parish church.

Here's the High Street, when trams were operating.

A bit of tram track remains as a reminder.

Dundee Corporation's buses replaced the trams.

The Tayside fleet got updated over the years.

Travel Dundee, part of National Express, took over.

Strathtay was Dundee's other main operator They even had Routemasters in the late 1980s.

A more up to date Strathtay bus.

With the opening of the Tay Road Bridge, Fife Scottish began operating into Dundee.

Stagecoach now puts in an appearance.

Independents incuded Greyhound of Arbroath (Les Flint).

Moffat & Williamson became frequent sights after deregulation.

Now for a look at the railways of Dundee. Both the LNER and LMS had sheds here.

Dundee's main station, Tay Bridge, circa 1920.

A variety of traffic here in 1979.

Onwards, then, to the pubs. We'll start with one of the best, the Phoenix Bar.

Another one that's not to be missed, the Speedwell Bar (AKA Mennies).

I'm not certain as to what has happened with the Tally Ho.

The Freelance & Firkin no longer brews its own beer.

Clancy's has now become an Irish bar.

The next morning we ascend Dundee Law and look back in time over the Tay Bridge.

A more modern view, with the road brdge.

As we leave Dundee we find one of the city's short-lived trolleybuses at Fairmuir Park.

In the next post we'll be explorng more of the Tayside region.
