I faintly remember catching a Makemson single decker from Hucknall Market Place to Bestwood Colliery and back with my grandfather. He was on holiday and went to pick up his pay packet. It was a half-cab single decker. The conductor was quite perplexed that a minor was travelling on the bus and was not sure what fare to charge.

Here's a rare one came up in my facebook feed Mackeson Coach

Yes, the fares are all displayed on the screen. The reduced fare is bottom left in the displayed list. You don't actually need to use your pass to buy the ticket, just pay cash or credit/debit card/phone

You are allowed to get a reduced rate ticket on the tram if you have a non-Notts bus pass - £3.50 a day IIRC.

Anyone been to Peggy's Skylight in Nottingham. Just wondering if it is any good?

An even earlier Atlantean prototype... believe it or not, produced in 1953

I remember those too. Also some Atlantean 2 demonstrators IIRC a one in demonstrator livery and one in Birmingham City Transport livery. The former was definitely an Atlantean as it had the fact painted in big letters along the sides. I guess the latter might have been a Daimler Fleetline - not sure.

Holden Square was opposite the Headstocks, just off the main road https://i.postimg.cc/Tw0jxBjt/Holden-Square.jpg

His only task was to beat Trump.

Here's the architects drawing for the old Home Brewery buildings

Home Ales is there - it's just the older brewery buildings, not the more modern one now along the main road.

At least our words are pronounceable to English speakers, even if there is debate about what is correct. On the other hand, try Georgian... Gvprtskvni - how is this even a word, Georgian!? - YouTube

Originally they went right round the north and east of Nottingham from Basford and into Nottingham London Road. The other way, some services went as far as Stafford by an obscure route. There were also trains to Pinxton via Langley Mill. A slightly more direct route into Nottingham began when the Nottingham Suburban line was opened from Daybrook. Only when the Great Central was built did they have a reasonably direct route into central Nottingham though. The line was really built to get at the coal.
