125 years of First Aberdeen
First Aberdeen’s roots go back to 1898 when the first Aberdeen Corporation Tramways were introduced.
On Saturday, vintage vehicles were on display at the bus depot on King Street as part of the anniversary celebrations. As well as old vehicles dating back as far as 1930, First Aberdeen’s new fleet of electric and hydrogen buses were on show.
Duncan Cameron, managing director of First Bus Scotland, said: “It’s great to be able to celebrate this milestone for public transport in Aberdeen with the people who we’ve been serving over the past 125 years.
“As we partner with local businesses, we hope that our acts of kindness and month of celebration will give a little something back to the local community and celebrate the great offerings of Aberdeen.”
