Brew 3,117 Report post Posted June 1 Normally it was the angle the shoes presented to the drum after a degree of wear had taken place and the different leading edge when going backwards, new drums almost never did it. There is also the fact that when reversing the braking effort is usually very light. We had an Atkinson eight wheeled tipper that did it after a brake re-line (rear wheels). It turned out the brake in question had a different brand of lining and I was told it was 'harder' than the Ferodo brand we usually used. Changed it and the noise stopped. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pianoman 1,354 Report post Posted July 21 Cliff Ince was a Trent bus driver at Mansfield and later Sutton Junction at the time I was there. He was also a PSV instructor as well. He was ex Midland General possibly Mansfield District (Green 'uns) as well. He is likely to be retired now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 1,610 Report post Posted August 7 Hello Toton girl, I think the ones on the 43/44 route would be a little bit more modern than this one I'm parked in bulwell market, outside the old Olympia, (Woolworths). On the way up to Camberley rd. If, as your profile states, your To ton, do you know Toton lane Stapleford ? Just the other side of Bardills island, over the A52. My sister in law lives there. Just saying, is all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought so. My Nana lived at 3 Vere Street Bulwell, now the bus staion, and we often went to visit on a 43/44. I can remember being on a trolleybus swinging round Bulwell Market, he went really fast! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 1,610 Report post Posted August 11 Hi Totongirl, just to add to you post on visiting grandparents, I can remember catching a 43/44 from top of boden st., to bulwell market then walking up quarry rd., commercial rd., to visit my gran and grandad. Used to go Sunday morning to be in time for dinner. Grandad had his dinner then went off to bed, saying " make sure you look after me rabbits". It were only a couple of years ago I was sent a photo of their gravestone up at northern cemetery, I realised grandad died in 1949 and I used to visit them on my own aged six ! All that way on a bus, on me Todd. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
