‘Scene’ at the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre ‘Barton Transport’ Coaches on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Located at Ruddington, which lies five miles to the South of Nottingham.

 

It is also home to the ‘Great Central Railway-Nottingham’.

 

A large site which houses an extensive collection of vintage buses as well as standard gauge and miniature railway vehicles and artefacts.

 

Originally a station on the ‘Great Central Railway’  extension line that linked Sheffield with London via Nottingham and Leicester.

The last vehicle purchased by ‘Barton’ prior to the take over by ‘Trent’.

 

Dating from 1988 and now over 30 years old, the body styling would not look out of place in any modern fleet.
