Is E1 SPT an official ‘Corporate Plate’

Standing in Buchanan Street Bus Station, lamenting my poor luck of arriving (via a connecting bus) with 19 minutes to wait for a 20-minute bus service, I had a few minutes to pare, and couldn’t help noticing EI SPT parked in the middle of the station forecourt.

It’s currently attached to a Toyota Hilux.

Sorry about the poor pic, but at this time of year it generally takes between one and two hours for the condensation to clear off my camera after I step outside 😩

I’ve noted the tendency for those involved in various transport services to favour what I generally refer to as personalised plates (or registrations), although I tend not to ‘collect’ them as I’m not in a position to see enough of them, and they can be in sets, which could be frustrating.

In this case we have the letters SPT, which most locals in this area will recognise as the acronym for Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.

I doubt the plate is a happy little accident.
