i remember the first one man bus leaving bulwell depot, i worked as a conductor there after swapping with a bloke who wanted bilborough, then years later as a driver on Renowns, we still did a bit of conducting on them. loved it at bulwell, met an old friend there Kiery, probably long gone now,
-
Bilborough Depot, back of Glaisdale School, brilliant Snooker table, when i was on spotting duty always ended up ironing it, never got a game on it though, never good enough,

At the age of 18yrs i became a conductor on NCT, i trained, 1 weeks training, on the service 55 Bilborough to Bulwell, on the 1st day just stood in the platform watching the conductor, George Palmer, lovely man, doing his thing, this was about 1963, on the 2nd day he let me collect fares upstairs, remember those silver ticket machines, you had to unhook the front from the back and let it rest forward whilst putting in a new roll of tickets, i had run out of 3d tickets so, stood at top of stairs, started to insert ticket roll into machine, fumbled the roll after inserting first ticket into machine and the rest of the roll rolled down the stairs bounced of the platform and rolled down Wigman Rd. we were opposite Chingford Rd at the time, i came running down the stairs, remember the pole in the middle of the platform, bashed my money bag against the pole and all my cash cascaded after the ticket roll down Wigman Rd. we ended up with me George, and Harry the driver plus some of the passengers running all over wigman rd collecting everything up, Legends are made of these happenings, We arrived in bulwell 25 minutes late, Nobody was very happy that day. Wonderful memories
