Buses in Nottingham

[Brew 3,227]

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.

Italian WW2 tanks must have made some noise..all them reverse gears!

STO 533H...a rear bumper fest!the ridged ones i had forgotten about.

[catfan 14,297]

Those rear bumpers were later removed.

Always seemed to be a scramble for the 43.

[IAN123. 9,295]

Hi Pianoman i knew Gordon Inces dad but can not remember his name ,Gordon Inces name was the point of many jokes like we use to call him Garden Ince as in (Hints) did you know his dad? they lived in Eastwood.

[The Pianoman 1,359]

No. It's Cliff Ince that I knew.

[IAN FINN 80]

Hi Pianoman who was Cliff Ince and where did he live? Gordon Ince was a bus driver for mgo in the early 60s and quite often drove the B3 bus from Mount St. to Alfreton which l would catch at Nuthall Three Ponds pub.I think he had 2 girls and no boys.

[The Pianoman 1,359]

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.

Bit late I realise, but this is one I used to drive, out of Bilborough.

[Beekay 1,727]

Could'nt find it Fly. Won't repost it again, don't want to bore folks to death. Probably had enough of me on Radford photos.

[katyjay 4,364]

Nay lad, keep posting.

[Cliff Ton 8,354]

I moved it into the Hauliers thread which Fly mentioned

Type in Hauliers in the search facility at the top right hand corner. Otherwise go to the Forums page, and scroll down to the Transport section, and you should find it .

I remember these on the 43s after the trollies finished.

[Beekay 1,727]

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.

Beekay, Totongirl is correct, Bulwell depot were allocated Fleetlines 79-94, once the trolleybuses finished along with Atlanteans, from 420 - 444.

Hi Beekay, I live off Stapleford Lane in Toton, often walk upto Toton Lane for the tram to Beeston. Small world isn't it?

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!

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.
