bamber 128 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I was in Seville over the weekend and noticed two mid-70s-vintage NCT Atlanteans still in harness on the city's tour bus service. Was there a reason for the popularity of old NCT vehicles with this kind of operation? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,871 Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 I think 398 and 399 were slightly lower so they could get under the bridge on Wilford lane, drove them a few times in 1979. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deepdene Boy 642 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Den, there were a batch of six, numbered 395 - 400, all built to a height of 13'8" to get under the Wilford Lane GCR bridge. 395 ran for a couple of years as an overall advert for Big Chef, whilst 400 had a GB sticker in its rear window following a jaunt to the continent in 1972. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deepdene Boy 642 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Not easy to tell from the photo. It is certainly "running in" to Parliament Street Depot having finished a 5A, looks more like Maid Marian Way, I think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
