1968_08_02 TRR953
TRR953 was one of three AEC Regent V MD3RVs with Park Royal H33/28R bodies bought by West Bridgford Urban District Council Passenger Transport Department in 1955.
It was waiting at the South Parade, Nottingham, terminus of several of WBUDC's joint services with Nottingham City Transport, with Nottingham's Council House in the background, when this picture was taken in August 1968. Behind is one of NCT's similarly bodied exposed radiator D3RV Regent Vs bought around the same time. Whilst TRR's AV470 engine may have been adequate for the relatively flat West Bridgford routes, NCT needed the extra power of the AV590, particularly for the hillier Arnold & Mapperley routes in the north east of the City.
At the end of the following month, TRR953 joined the NCT fleet, when WBUDC involvement in bus operation came to an end.
