Bus at the Carlton Terminus
Image: © David Hillas Taken: 3 May 1969
Taken in May 1969, this photo shows 515 (PTO 515G) a Leyland Atlantean with Northern Counties 76-seater bodywork in Cavendish Road, Carlton about to leave on route 72 to Wollaton Park via Nottingham City Centre. It was operated by Nottingham City Transport and has a blank illuminated advertisement panel below the upper deck windows. These panels were adopted by several UK bus operators in the 1960s, but with limited success from advertisers. This section of route from Carlton (Post Office Square) to Wollaton Park used to be operated by trolleybuses until the 30th September 1965, the route number then being 39. A few redundant trolleybus traction poles can be seen with the lamp standard to the left of the photo, but these would now have long ago been taken out. Cavendish Road in Carlton is now covered by Nottingham Buses Lilac Route 27 from Nottingham City Centre.
