NCT only had three of these single deckers. I remember the 8, Trent Bridge to Sneinton, which was a single-decker route because of the low bridge on Meadow Lane. At busy times, two were actually used, to bring kids from Sneinton to Mundella School. Bet those had a hard life.

Did Bestwood have a single-decker route?

Route 35 which ran from Bulwell Market to the Northern Cemetery on Hempshill Lane was operated by a single decker until the overbridge for the Bennerley railway was removed. The 35 operated on Saturday & Sunday afternoons.

When the new rear engine buses came out (Atlanteans and Fleetlines) all those years ago, we were all excited to ride on them. Wish the old ones could return.
