Three Nottingham City Transport bus drivers who drove for a combined 122 years have retired. Allan Laird, Roger Wallace and George Carter retired from the city’s largest transport operator recently, after completing 31.5 years, 42 years and 48.5 years respectively with NCT.
The trio have enjoyed successful careers at Nottingham City Transport, building great rapport with their customers and colleagues, which all three say they will miss. Allan joined NCT in 1992, starting on route 70, which then operated between Clifton and Hucknall with midi-buses.
Allan later moved to the Lime and Purple Line services along Mansfield Road, where he remained until his retirement. In retirement, Allan plans to do voluntary work in his community as well as visiting the home of Elvis in Memphis and completing the North Coast 500 in a campervan with his wife.
