These were very good and did the Nottingham Derby run,, I was garage staff but sometimes did the run on a Saturday in summer ,
I was finished when trent took over (thankfully)
That bus looks like what you’d imagine if someone described a routemaster to you on the phone lol
Love the sound of these old buses 👍😊
What a fabulous video. I would have ridden on this bus and its classmates many times in the early 70s on my way through Long Eaton and back to school. I always loved the 60 and 63 Regents best of all. The Duple Leylands were nice, but the Northern Counties AECs were the best sounding and looking! The video captures the sound perfectly, exactly as I remember it. Once the single deckers came in increasing numbers the end seemed to come swiftly for these beauties, so it's great to see one in such nice condition and health. I moved away from Long Eaton many years ago but still go back several times a year to visit family. I'd love to ride on this bus again sometime. I can't ever remember being on a Barton bus that broke down, although I do remember one of this group cutting out at every bus stop and having to be restarted. Hope it made it back to Chilwell!
