After a very successful weekend we would like to thank everyone involved in the Riverside Christmas Market & Fair!

Thanks to the showpeople for their hard work running a fantastic fair, to The Showmen’s Theatre Company for their help and Fair Scotland for their tours. Thanks to Nevis Ensemble for ending the weekend with a mini concert. Thanks a lot to our wonderful staff, all of our fabulous vendors, and most importantly, thank you to all of you who visited during the weekend. We couldn't make it happen without you!

With the World Cup in full swing, do you remember seeing this car next to the pitch at British football stadiums?

This is an Invacar, AKA Wee Bluey. The British Ministry of Pensions distributed Invacars free to disabled people from 1948 until 1981. It was conceived as a single passenger car, with a sliding seat for easy access from a wheelchair.

Brian Sweeney fondly remembers it in our display. He would drive his to go to the football and if you drove a Wee Bluey you'd get in free and a great pitch-side view. He remembers that when it rained he couldn't see through the windscreen and every time he hears the whining engine of a wee motor it reminds him of football.

A long day in the office!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to join the amazing volunteers that helped to organise and manage the Glasgow to Edinburgh Ultra . I was helping out as one of the sweepers for the event to make sure that all the signage was taken down and runners on the course had support to make sure they got through each checkpoint safely and on time. It was an amazing day meeting so many great people and seeing them push themselves to achieve their goals.

The Glasgow to Edinburgh ultra is an amazing event that takes runners from the Glasgow Riverside Museum along the beautiful canals passing the Falkirk Wheel and finishing in Edinburgh. The whole course is 56 miles long (91 km in proper money) that although it's super flat compared to many other ultras of this distance has its own challenges due to this lack of elevation and the demand on the same muscles for such a long period of time. The event is set up with 7 fantastic aid stations full of very helpful and friendly volunteers that will help you to stuff your face and get you moving. Luckily I had the added benefit of having an amazing pack lunch of vegan sausage rolls and rice crispy squares from The Dunbar Community Bakery to keep me going as well.

Sadly I forgot to put my memory card in my GoPro so I was unable to capture as many photos as usual as I had to make sure my phone battery didn't die.

This is definitely an event that everyone should add to their list of ultras to take part in.

Well done to everyone that took part as even if you weren't able to finish the fact that you stood at the start line ready to challenge yourself and push yourself into the unknown is the true achievement.

📸 The Tall Ship Glenlee and the Riverside Museum
Riverside Museum. Get a sense of where the city is coming from, and where it’s going. The transport museum started when someone had the foresight to decide some of Glasgow’s trams should be preserved after they stopped running. In an odd moment of synchronicity, the collection opening coincided with a wave of closures at shipyards on the Clyde with some 250 ship models soon finding a new home, then came hulking locomotives representing the city’s railway heritage.

You’ll find the oldest surviving pedal cycle and a collection of Scottish-built cars and trucks. Look out for the Star Wars figures cabinet. A meticulously assembled street scene allows you to step into Glasgow of the past.

The purpose-built museum, designed by Zaha Hadid, replaced the previous home for the collection at the Kelvin Hall.

Celebrating the Best of Glasgow, supported by The Glenlivet Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
After almost three years of online events and meetings, we headed to the Riverside Museum on Thursday to meet our members & supporters in-person!

It was great to see both familiar as well as new faces, and get a chance to catch up in Glasgow all while learning more about the city's transport past, present and future.

A big thank you to our speakers Bruce Kiloh, Head of Transport Planning at Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT); and John Messner, Curator of Transport & Technology at the museum.
