A bus driver and his wife who have both clocked up over 60 years of combined service with Nottingham City Transport have decided it’s time to get off at their own final stop.

John Reynolds, who has spent most of his career driving Arnold services, and his wife Aliceson, who has been with the catering team for NCT for the past 32 years, both retired from the company today (8).

John joined NCT back in 1988 and spent most of his career driving the 56, 57, 58 and 59 services, including from the former Sherwood Depot, where he met Aliceson.

He is now looking forward to spending more time gardening and working on his model railway in retirement.

Aliceson, who retired after 32.5 years in December, worked in the catering team for Nottingham City Transport, starting at the Sherwood Depot before moving to the firm’s canteens in the City Centre.

NCT Marketing Manager, Anthony Carver-Smith, said: “We wish Ali and John a very healthy, long and happy retirement, which is well deserved after their long careers with the Company.”
