For those asking, the seats were based on the 1969 "Carousel" by American industrial designer Elsie Crawford and used the very a la mode new material of fibreglass. They pop up online for sale occasionally but we're talking multiple thousands of pounds

The 1981 music video for "All About You" by the Scars was filmed partly in Waverley Station, in all its orange plastic glory. I do have to correct myself though, it was called the Talisman Bar at that time - it was Nor'Loch later on.

Surprised there is no drainage hole for "liquids"...

I remember them also from the Clydebank shopping centre.

I think St James Centre had them in an olive/puke green colour

Did the Commonwealth Pool not have those seats as well?

Carefully designed and machined to ensure would-be users slide off and onto the floor in less than a minute.

Exactly my recollection of them too.
