South Notts Bus Company was a bus company operating in Nottinghamshire from 1926 until 1991 when sold to Nottingham City Transport who continue to use the brand name today.
Preserved East Lancs bodied Leyland Atlantean Northern Counties bodied Leyland Olympian in Loughborough Nottingham City Transport Scania OmniDekka in Gotham in September 2011 In March 1926, Christopher Dabell commenced
operating a service between Gotham and Nottingham with a 20-seat Guy BB. Barton Transport already provided a bus service on this route but Dabell gained enough local customers to make his service successful.
In 1929, an agreement was made with Barton Transport which involved Barton acquiring a 50% share of South Notts whilst withdrawing from the South Notts route.
The South Notts service was extended to Loughborough, and this continued to be the company's main route until its takeover.
Single-deck buses, mainly Guys, joined the fleet until 1932, when Leylands started to arrive, followed by Gilfords, Bedfords and Dennises.
The first double-decker did not arrive until 1951, when an ex Hants & Dorset Leyland Titan was acquired.
This proved useful on services to the new Clifton Estate, which were provided jointly with Nottingham City Transport and West Bridgford UDC. More followed,
with the fleet size increasing rapidly to meet the new demand, and it was not long before the fleet became predominantly double-deck.
However, a small coach fleet was also maintained, for which Bedfords were the preferred vehicles until the mid-1980s when the Bedfords were supplanted by secondhand Leyland Leopards.
The double-deck fleet was of lowbridge or lowheight types, due to the height of the bridge where the Great Central Railway crossed Wilford Lane.
