Ex-Nottingham City Transport DAU 366C

The Nottingham Heritage Vehicles garage is usually packed too tightly for me to fit this into the frame on my DSLR, but on 4.12.22 things were a little more spread out and I was able to get my best picture of DAU 366C so far. It’s a Weymann bodied AEC Renown, new to Nottingham City Transport in 1965, and is rather unusual in being a crew operated bus bought when NCT were pushing for one-man-operation and buying rear engined double deckers. For that reason the Renowns were unpopular and didn't have long service careers with Nottingham. Nos. 351-385 were bodied by Weymann and nos. 386-392 by Northern Counties, with minor differences in appearance between the two.

I have previously made a model of a Weymann bodied NCT Renown, converted from an EFE Lodekka.

On a visit to NHV last year, one of the members told me the bus had been towed to Hucknall 'forwards', against his judgement, and thus the front dome blew off and took the front of the top deck with it. Meanwhile, the pole connecting the side of the bonnet to the canopy underside is for the crew to hold while they climbed up to change the destination. I've read theories about them being structural or piping engine heat to warm the upper saloon, but now I know the real reason.
