Here is a little story i will share with you all which goes back 30 years ago. when i was five there was a police box in the old Anderston bus station and on a visit to my grandparents i spotted this police box in the dark all lit up like a Christmas tree (mind you this was near Christmas time) and watching Dr who at the time i could not believe what i was seeing so i ran away from my mums side to go to it  but i was in for a surprise instead of the doctor being inside it was a policeman  and he asked me where my mum was. I do remember the policeman giving my mum a telling of for letting me wander in such a busy place . the box from what i remember was dark blue and white on the inside it is the only time i got to see inside a police box even if it was only for  afew seconds . the box remained for many  years even after the station closed  the site now is where the Buchanan galleries is now .
But it was just a police box !

does anyone have a photo of the box?
why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

I'm not sure, but a search for Police box and anderston came up with Anderston Cross Police Box.
Is this the right Box?
