Patchy movie about a laid-off Glasgow shipbuilder who trains to swim the English Channel. It also has Brenda Blethyn training to be a Glasgow bus driver. There are good shots of former London AEC Routemasters: First Glasgow 39286, formerly RML2486, (JJD486D) plays a major part:

Arriva buses are seen as well, but the only close view is of 1421 (P811DBS), an Alexander-bodied Dennis Dart SLF:
