Beekay, when you started at Bilborough in 1962 the GM would have been Ben England, he was replaced by John Wake in 1963. The Chief Engineer was John Lowrie. It is good to hear that Dereck Deakin is still alive and kicking.
Jill, Beekay is correct South Notts never ran the 53, it was purely an NCT service.

We always used to get fish and chips there when County were playing at home. As Dad was a driver at Trent Bridge we could leave his car there and walk to Meadow Lane after having a good feed.

Back in the 70s, there used to be an excellent chippy opposite Trent Bridge Depot. Is it still there?

Totongirl, there were no large mirrors on the lowbridge Atlanteans 395-400, as they were confined to the Clifton services via Trent Bridge which were conductor operated, so reversing was always done under guidance from the conductor. I regularly witnessed the 67s backing into Manor Farm Road from Green Lane, before pulling forward to the Langstrath Road terminal point.

You learn summat everyday. I didn't realise that a certain German supermarket chain was named after the plural of lido.
