Snowfall in the hillier parts of the Nottingham conurbation generally results in some bus services being suspended until some clearance has taken place. Shelford Road, with a gradient of around 1 in 10 is one of these; here sufficient salt has got onto the carriageway to allow service to resume. The bus is a Daimler Fleetline with bodywork by Northern Counties to Nottingham City Transport's own design, new in 1976. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
