Hutchison's of Overtown

[Arkan]

Hi all, I'm looking for a bit of info on Hutchison of Overtown buses. I'm looking for their routes and bus numbers, basically. I always thought the number 2 went from Overtown to Coltness but my dad disagrees - please settle an argument (all in good banter).

I don’t know a lot about Hutchison’s operations but there might be some helpful info here - https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/hutchison-routes-v-first-routes-now.216795/

McKindless had the 22 Overtown to Coltness. That's probably the bus your Dad remembers.

For those looking for a visual history on the company, Flickr's David Devoy has a pretty comprehensive gallery showcasing Hutchisons' coach and regular stagecarriage vehicles throughout the decades. Link below. The youngest vehicles featured are the 2 Wright Eclipse Solar-bodied Scania L94UBs the company took delivery of in April 2002 (SK02 ZYG/ZYH).
