‘Scene’ at The Derbyshire Dales Bus Rally 3 on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

A new event organised by the ‘Nottingham Heritage Vehicles Charity’ (NHVC) who are based in the old TRENT garage at Hucknall, Nottinghamshire.

 

Friend Peter Rose and I ventured to the ‘Peak Rail’ site at Rowsley railway station in Derbyshire where the event was held.

 

As we have done before, we have combined all the images we gathered on the day. 

 

The credits being joint D.Basford/P.M.Rose.

Delivered to ‘Trent Motor Traction Co. Ltd’ in 1962 as part of a batch of 20 similar vehicles, 191 is fitted with a Dual Purpose (DP) body, which meant it was intended mainly for use on bus services, but fitted with more comfortable seats and a luggage boot it could be used on Express services to coastal resorts at weekends.

 

Part of the NHVC collection and used as the site control bus.

 

I was surprised to see that it has been stripped of its TRENT titling and fleet number.

I have seen this coach at Hucknall a number of times and I am assuming that it is part of the NHVC collection.

At some stage in its career, it was registered HIL 256.

 

 

‘Scene’ at the Buses Festival 2021. When ‘Paul S. Winson’ met ‘Todmorden Joint Omnibus Commitee’ on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The annual ‘Buses Festival’ this year was held at the ‘East of England Showground’ which is near Peterborough.

 

It was the first time I have attended the show and considering the amount of national publicity that has been lavished on it I was disappointed with the number of vehicles in attendance.

 

Whilst most of the attendees were preserved vehicles, there were some current buses and coaches on display.

 

The quality of vehicles that did attend was good particularly on a day which was interrupted by rain and dark clouds on a regular basis.

 

I think that an event held in the East Midlands will always have difficulties in attracting large numbers of participants.

 

The problem being that the venue is so far from most major centres of population.

 

Time will tell.

An attractive feature on this coach are the individually embroidered antimacassars.

‘TJOC’ was one of a small number of Joint Omnibus Committee’s that were owned jointly by the local Corporation and the railway operator that was dominant in the area. 

 

In this case it was the ‘LMS which eventually came under ‘British Railways’ control.

 

The company eventually became part of ‘Calderdale JOC’.
