rob237 89 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 littlebro has it... Nottingham City Transport General Manager, 1931-1960. Several post-war liveries carried his name, title and vehicle garage location in a very small panel - printed at floor level - on some buses and trolleybuses. Cheers Robt P.

Owdtite 2 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 And here is a quote from the very Man................... It is heartening to know also that no Petition has been presented against this Special Order, and that it will benefit sixteen local authorities and, I am glad to say, will give pleasure to the Association of Municipal Corporations, who are interested in this matter. It is interesting to recall that in February, 1957, Ben England, then general manager of Nottingham City Transport, wrote in Bus and Coach, an article headed, "If only Parliament had encouraged electric traction", which commented on what trolley buses might have been in this country. Owdtite.... !congrats! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
