TBI 2,351 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Great pic, looks like it was having a bit of trouble. LTV 701 was an AEC Regal, I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

taxi ray 170 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 #581 I wonder if the photo shows the bus on delivery, at the boys club. Driver doesn't have uniform on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BulwellBrian 107 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
