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.

Apparently the new edition of 'Classic Bus' magazine has a special article commemorating the formation of Midland General/ Notts & Derby Traction, in case anyone is interested.

There are lots of obstructions to progress on the Grantham Canal. A lot of bridges were flattened to ease road traffic movement and the canal just flows under by a couple of concrete pipes. The canal is also completely blocked where the A1 crosses the course of the canal. The Grantham basin was completely filled in in the 1930s and has long been an industrial estate. There are some photos of it just before demolition on the Britain From Above site.

I wonder how they came to choose that combination of colours! I'm guessing they had to come up with something that none of the major operators around Nottingham already used? They were 50% owned by Barton until the NCT takeover.

Butler Bros still has a depot and booking office in Kirkby. Just school runs and coaches these days, I think.

Another Butlers Bros coach, this time at Huntingdon St Bus Station

All Midland General and N&DT buses were owned by Balfour Beatty until nationalised. The N&DT/MG distinction was essentially a bookkeeping exercise. Their tram routes and replacement trolleybuses had been specifically enabled by Act of Parliament, whilst pure bus routes didn't require this. The N&DT buses were (nominally at least) direct replacements for the tram and trolleybus routes only. I remember seeing N&DT motor buses in places like Hucknall on occasion, so the distinction was not always followed. The trunk route from Ripley to Nottingham went from trams to tr

Barton, Trent and East Midland had them too.
