‘Scene’ at the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre Visitors for the Day 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.

 

ARC 666T ‘Nottingham City Transport’ No. 666 ‘Andrew Pickering’.

Very much a one off where ‘NCT’ explored various ideas for incorporation in future buses.

 

The angled destination blind to make it easier to see. A single door to only allow one person at a time to board. Double doors at the exit. The very substantial front bumper assembly to protect the driver and reduce frontal collision damage.
