The PSV Circle (of which I have been a member for some years) aims to hold an Annual General Meeting in a different location in the UK every year. (Covid permitting).
Usually held at a weekend, they also include visits to operators and other bus related venues for the attending members to visit and enjoy.
This year, the location was in my part of the world, the East Midlands.
The first visit was to the ‘NHVC’ which is based in what was the ‘Trent Motor Traction’ depot in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire.
The group have an excellent website which I would recommend to anyone requiring further details.
I have previously posted blogs featuring the ‘NHVC’ on 29/04/2019, 21/01/2020, 26/01/2020, 05/02/2020 and 17/03/2020 so I feel I have pretty well covered the main exhibits.
However, the ‘NHVC’ has a reserve collection of buses that are awaiting preservation work.
These are located on an industrial estate nearby.
No doubt that in time and with further funding, some of these will buses will move to Hucknall.

In the mid 1970’s, ‘NCT’ took delivery of a batch of buses for use on park & ride services from a number of sites around the city.
Unusual at the time, being Duple Dominant coach bodies fitted with standard bus seats.
As supplied, they were painted lilac and marketed as ‘Lilac Leopards’.
The intention was to phase traffic lights into the city to give these services priority, so speeding the journey.
Park & ride was a new concept at that time and it became obvious that the citizens of Nottingham did not want it so the scheme was abandoned.
