The photo reverse is annotated "Paisley. Sept 1956". There is no photographer name, if anyone knows who took it please message me and I will credit them

No. 46 was a hex dash (top covered and unvestibuled) Glasgow 'Standard' yellow route car operating out of Langside (Battlefield) Depot, built in Sep 1921 by GCT as part of 'phase III' of its tram building/rebuilding programme, it seated 24/38 and ran on a 4 wheel Brill 21E truck. In Jul 1930 it was rebuilt as fully enclosed as part of 'phase IV' of the standard car programme running on its original truck (or a new Brush produced 21E pattern one?), staying as a yellow route car.

In May 1959 it was withdrawn from service and broken up at Coplawhill, the parts of the Glasgow tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closing in Sep 1962.

* My coloured images are more sketch or watercolour like than colour transparency or print like. They are an impression of that subject and period, rather than an accurate representation of how the image/subject actually looked when the photo was taken.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.
