No reversing was permitted by NCT when routes changed to OMO. Many routes had to be modified to accomadate rhis ruling. I knew the 22 route very well having done many a shift on 1,7 & 22 when they ran from Bulwell & later Bilborough depots. The present service 79 basically covers all those 3 routes combined in to one route these days.

I would never have gone onto Melbourne Road on a bus although I do remember the clock. Had an aunt live at 25 Melbourne. Living at Eastwood, the journey would be to travel into Nottingham on posh blue bus, B1, B3 or C5, do whatever shopping it was or whatever and then go and see Grandma on Minver on the way back home hence catching 30 or 62 on Friar Lane. The journey back home would have been either a walk around Minver, down Rosslyn and then Bells Lane to catch a posh Blue Bus on Nuthall Rd. Cinder Hill or alternatively (for a change) walk further around Minver, down Wendover and catch a posh

She seems to be behaving herself at the moment finding the next episodes. Probably lulling me into a false sense of security. Glad I got it when it was on offer in case I throw it out the window!

The Wimpey estate Loppylugs is referring to is on Stockhill Lane, just along from Cinderhill Park. They built a fire station there too.

I remember when we'd moved to Bestwood Village when I was 14, I'd lay in bed with the window wide open listening to the night sounds of the village. There was a slipping screaching conveyor belt on the pit screens, a compressor coming on & off load, a Mackemsons bus pulling away from the pit baths stop, a Midland General Bristol Lo-Decker B8 bus pulling away from the bowling green at end of Park Road, a coal train chugging & clanking on the railway lines to Hucknall, Linby & Colvo pits, the boozed up boozers coming out the Top Pub (Bestwood Hotel) & Welfare shouting "GOODNIGHT,

Automart, 61a Mansfield Road, Nottingham. Late 1970s. Originally a Saab dealership but later Daf, then Colt / Mitsubishi.

Bartons had a gas bus...

Chatting to a driver on a biogas bus the other day reckons with a few passngers on board the the bus wouldn't pull you out of bed.

Look up Schrodingers equation and you will be able to calculate it if your hypothesis holds...

Not really watching it ,,but just noticed Johnny Depp in ''Pirates of the Caribbean' bump into Judi Dench,,,,he's only copying me,,,i bumped into her on Maid Marian way about 1966..........he did it in a Stagecoach 2011,,,,another difference was he gave her a kiss and got a smile.......all i got was a load of verbals.............lol

Absolutely no connection with Nottingham, but I never realised furniture could be this clever.

Getting a bit worried, that last post makes some sense! I tend to lay in bed wondering why I am not asleep yet.

I lay in bed thinking last night.... If a black hole can have a quantum superposition, & that superposition means said black hole can be in two places at once, then I speculate that the mass of the each BH would be halved as the mass would be shared out between them. If the mass of each BH is less than the BH forming mass then would the two superposition'd BH's then no longer be BH's? I'm wondering if this phenomena could explain gamma ray bursts or fast radio bursts as they could be superposition pair black holes going "POP." If however the mass isn't halved, or extreme gravitational fiel

It's your Yorkshire accent, you've brockit.

Put 'em together and they can argue it out between themselves

Finally after battling with her all morning Alexa has finally found the podcast episode I want. She has tried to play me all sorts of strange things (even a religious thing at one point) and I have found myself arguing with her I’m sure she gets impatient with me as sometimes she just switches herself off and I’m sure she sulks when I keep asking her for the same thing with the words swopped round to see if she can find it, plus she keeps advising me stitcher has some disturbing content (yes I know crime podcasts which are what I listen to). Got to the stage where I am not sure if

I think it could vary, depending on your location. To me, Wimpey Estate was the place next to Clifton, and eventually became known as Silverdale.

Eyes down for a Full House then Col !

Setting off for Nottm in an hour or so. Just the usual flying visit to see family. Will no doubt end up in the Gala tonight playing Bingo, but I've not won 'owt for years... Just been checking the weather forecast. At least 14 solid days of showers and a high of about 18 degrees... at least here in the Grand Duchy.. The weather folks are going on about this being 'unusual' for August, but in my experience August is often a wet miserable month. It's being so cheerful as keeps me going...

That Wimpey estate was built 65/66 I think, Katy. we moved in during 66. Makes me feel a bit old now.

I thought it were a mk.3 Deepdene, but never said owt, there's folks on here with superior knowledge than me. I just drove em ! B.

I could tell some tales of the Full Moon and the goings on back in its heyday but some of the people are still alive so best to keep quiet!
