Deepdene Boy 583 Report post Posted May 10 Mick, if 66 is on Trent Embankment, I assume that it is running out of Trent Bridge Works back to Bilborough depot. As the blinds are set to 60 Bilborough Estate, this led me to erroneously believe it was Middleton Boulevard, by the Crown Island. Rog, thanks for the confirmation. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually DB, I'd say the opposite, from that pic it must be coming from Bilborough to Trent Bridge works. Perhaps Clifton Boulevard/Queens Drive way. Another possibility, it's been in the works and having a ' run round the block ' to check something. I seem to remember buses occasionally running round the rec, Wilford Grove/Embankment. I lived right next to the works for years. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 3,409 Report post Posted May 16 I remember Mr. Grain’s Jag back in the ‘80’s. I parked my own identical model (without a private plate!) behind it when I went to discuss buying shrink wrapping machinery which he made in his factory on High Cross St. at the side of the model shop.
