NCT Atlantean 415 (MVO415W)

No matter what you think about the Nottingham style it was certainly distinctive. I must admit to not being a huge fan myself, and the bodywork by East Lancs or Northern Counties, as on this Atlantean, was to say the least unusual. Other distinctive features included the single leaf front entrance and double leaf centre exit. The enormous front bumper looked as if it had been removed from the rear, where there usually wasn't one.

Not so long ago Atlanteans were common place in Nottingham, and there were still plenty when I took this photo on 10 October 1996. Since then the Atlanteans and traditional livery have gone, and the tramway also runs in this locality.

This view is selected for DH73 who I hope will enjoy this view from perhaps his favourite era.
