Nice to see so many rare and unusual buses and coaches still running and not just stuck in a museum. The dual door VAL and the low bridge Loline are particular gems.

I agree - I love seeing them out and about in the wild so to speak lol. Same with classic cars

From about 1958 to 1970 I went to school on Barton Buses, from 1963 the company supplied the Keyworth - West Bridgford school buses.

Had a Bedford YMT 20 years ago. Lovely bus pushed it to far by taking it on long trip's. Had it hand painted and seats recovered, Engine to be taken easy and it will get you home.

I was there - probably further round the corner when the buses turned left as they were coming in. The driver of that Dennis Loline seems to sit low and quite far back in relation to the steering wheel, compared to most bus driving positions. He seems to be turning the wheel from the '25-to-5' position as he turns the corner. Maybe he wanted to sit that far back, but if that's how you have to sit in that I'm not sure I'd like driving it. That aside, seeing so many Barton fleet lined up that day was magnificent.

It was definitely a cool line up :)

As a kid & teenager I rode on Bartons buses for years circa 70's/early 80's. I have many happy memories including the conductor who used to freak us schoolkids (early 70's?) )out by removing his false teeth, me & a mate piling old bus tickets & fagbuts from the ashtray on an old lady's hat as she dosed one Summer journey, p&ssed ourselves laughing as she got off the buses ...& going to gigs in Nottingham early 1980 NWHM. Lastly I remember the time a double decker went by mistake under Sawly Bridge and got stuck ripping out the front of the top deck. The damaged bus was parked up at Chilwell depot for years afterwords. Very sad to see the company sold, the old garages in Melton, Kegworth etc closed, those happy days gone. Going full circle a lot of these sort of coaches were used to live in when I was on the road, buses have always been a part of my life, till now: I live in Lincolnshire, no fecking bus service: progress, pah humbug. Thanks for posting. Anyone got one for sale?
