Glasgow resident, Ian Short, 75, started driving buses in Glasgow in 1969 at the age of just 22. Ian, originally from Scotstoun had his wish granted of driving a Leyland Titan bus that dates back to 1958.

Ian started his journey of becoming a bus driver after serving his apprenticeship at a Scottish automobile company called Albion Motors in Milngavie. This was later bought over by the most well-known bus manufacturers in the world, Leyland Motors.
