The Pianoman

Thanks for all the info folks. As the planned railway is to be set just pre war ( with some licence) I am pleased to say that I can forget trams. Now I know what type of trolley buses for NCT and NDT and what the colour schemes were.

I have just read the info in the link in the first post but unfortunately it doesn't answer my question. I am wanting information as to what the colour schemes were for Nottingham Corporation trams and for that matter trolley buses in the 1930's. I am tempted to think that they were not green and and cream but brown or maroon and cream. I would also be interested to know the colour schemes for Notts and Derby Traction trams were in the 1930s and did they have trollies then? I don't think they were blue and cream. Looking at a retirement project to build a model railway in the loft - and no I

Nobody has yet mentioned opening windscreens.

Didn't have a problem until I clicked the back button to get off this thread. It took ages. Then it took ages to come back again so I could post this.

I remember Melbourne Road police station roof as being flat - 1960's. In fact on that ariel view, the car parked at the side of the road just before the railway line is possibly my Uncle Alf's

Its on the right hand side of the Strelley bypass as you travel from Nuthall island towards Coventry Lane. Or to put it another way its between Strelley bypass and the M1/A610

Why bother logging out? I never have yet

Good find thanks

Blackbirds for me. I always get one nesting in either the dilapidated shed I've got at the bottom of my garden or it will be in my conifers. This year I seem to have three blackbird nests.

I saw them parked up in various places the other day while I was down there. What do you do? Penny in the slot machine to pay for its use?

But you are one of those 34,000 with nothing better to do as you must have watched it

Been shopping in there.

It didn't go under Bells Lane. I remember the same gate as you and the steep bit of hill going up from what was then a tiny Cinder Hill Island. (Trolleybus poles always coming off).

The police were out in force yesterday when I went past on the bus. Bar Lane end. Just a point tho'. The Mrs Bee that I mentioned lived at No 27 which was at the side of that railway line. My fathers sister lived at 25. All a long time ago in the days when there was a police station on the central reservation.

Welcome to the elite group. A Mrs Bee lived next door to my fathers sister on Melbourne Road.

I had a recorded message from HMRC on my mobile today. Apparently I am to be convicted for tax fraud. So the next meet up might be in a big house somewhere

Sorry to hear that. knew both your parents well. I even remember your birth. Now that makes me feel old

Slightly amused that the bus, registration 76 LNN is parked at the side of a 105E Anglia. an uncle of mine on Melbourne Road had a 105E Anglia that was registered 600 LNN

Well if Cities like Dresden and Warsaw that were bombed flat during WW2 can be rebuilt as they were perhaps its not such a bad idea to put Nottingham back as it was. Its the best plan suggested so far

The one that Dunn Line had was a Leyland PD3 btw

Thanks. No idea it existed.

I need info on Nottingham Victoria Station. Was there a passenger entrance into the station from Lower Parliament Street or was all passenger entrance from Milton Street? Was Lower Parliament Street a 'bridge' with Thurland Street being the tunnel out southbound? When in the station how did you get from one platform to the next? Was it by bridge or was there a subway? Here is a map of the station: If you click on the link and then go to No 9 on the left hand side of the page all will be revealed. You can enlarge it and move it around. https://w

I thought ENVY

Dutch bikes with 3 speed s/a are OK in Holland where it is all flat.
