Trafalger 1 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 The No. 14 ran from Old Market Square (Smithy Row) every 15 minutes to Trent Boulevard, West Bridgford. Terminus was near what was the Leonard Cheshire Home but I think it is called something else now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 You could be right Frank 'standard 8' 1954, is that the same era as the bus? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bazza 71 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Thanks for that TrafalgarWhat make of car is following the bus? It looks like a Standard 8 I don't think so. Looks more like a mid to late 50s Austin to me and judging by the white bonnet it was a taxi from that era up to the mid 60s. Puck would be OLD enough to remember them.

StephenFord 866 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 The bus - DRR10 - is West Bridgford UDC fleet no. 14 (It is pure co-incidence that it is also operating on route 14). It is a 1937 AEC Regent with body supplied by Park Royal. It survived in service until 1960. The route 14 (joint with NCT of course) ran to Brockley Road, turning off Radcliffe Road into Abbey Road and Davies Road, returning via Eltham Road and Abbey Road. I seem to remember WB buses on the 14 tended to show "Gamston Bridge" as the destination. It was the 12 that went along Trent Boulevard, finishing at Seymour Road. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Morris Oxford???? Had the same grille as the Cowley> Taxi would be right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Definitely one of the Oxford/Cowley/Isis range. Like this http://en.wikipedia....es_II_front.jpg In those days all the taxis seemed to be that model, like Toyotas now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
