Bus Movements - Nottinghamshire - early 70s

[Fyldeboy]

I have come across some brief notes that detail depot movements / repairs etc from the United Counties fleet in the early 70s.

Sample quotes:

• New 'VR' 763 VNV763H at Bedford
• 541 and 457 from 'N' (Northampton) were delicenced(sic) at 30th June (1970)
• 14th (Oct 1970) 622 YNV622B on 8.15am Guilsborough (came home on 898 same day)

Are these notes of use to anyone, or any suggestions of a 'forum' where there might be bus historians to devour them?

If they are official documentation then the bus archive (Bus Archive) is likely to be interested in them. If they're your own notes then it's worth asking the bus archive, otherwise I cant see any reason not to have them on a forum like this as it's public so would be available to a large audience, subject to the views of the moderators.

They are not official - I found a few tucked in 'First Day Covers' which seem to have been sent by an employee at the time. I have only found 3 at the moment but could be plenty more as I have a batch, but need to be careful not to damage many 'stuck down' covers. I'll see how many I can pull together, then report back

I see no reason why you shouldn't post them here if there is interest from others.

Please do remember to include descriptions of any images you post and if you are posting scans of handwritten documents, we'd prefer you to include a transcription for the benefit of forum members who use accessibility software.

Shouldn’t the thread title say “Northamptonshire“ rather than “Nottinghamshire“?
