Surviving well into the 1970s, the original B762 belonged to eastern Glasgow. It started on London Road (A732 at classification, today the remnant of the A74) and headed north via Braidfauld Street and Wellshot Road to Shettleston Road (also changed, once the A8 but now the A89). The main feature of the route was that it passed Tollcross Park, host to the 2014 Commonwealth Games aquatics centre.
The route has now been declassified and the B762 number reused for a cross-city route with an end a mile south of Braidfauld, on the other side of the Clyde in Eastfield.
The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Glasgow (Braidfauld Street and Wellshot Road)
