Shades of Shore Terrace of the fifties when most of the city buses operated from the dedicated bus stance located behind the Caird Hall.  But with the demise of the tramway system in 1956 and the addition of new bus services over the years, the Shore Terrace stance became too small.   Attempts to get a new dedicated stance next to the railway station did not materialise.  The walkway in the photograph (left) connects Crighton Street to Tayside House and Olympia.  The single deck buses (left) are Volvos with Wright Handybus bodies and the double decker is a Wright Gemini Eclipse bodied Volvo B7TL - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow

A modern bus shelter is almost a memorial to the former bus stance - now a car park - in Shore Terrace (left).  Castle Street leading to High Street (right) - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow
