Trent Barton 506 (31.12.2025)

One of the more unusual routes to see Trent Barton's Pocket Rocket on but today saw just that albeit for a couple of runs as cover for the branded MMC of 142 before it was declared available for service again. 506 is seen on Beastmarket Hill with The Cotgrave to Cotgrave.

Trent Barton 506 (30.12.2025)

I don't know what went on with Manvers Street today but they seemed to have their wires crossed about where to put the red Solo SR spare with a spare needed on the RV1 but the usual spare saw use on the i4 and Cotgrave routes with the Mango Eclipse of 713 ending up on the RV1 instead. 506 is pictured crossing the T junction on Maid Marian Way with an i4 from Sandiacre, In the end, this bus ended up on here for the afternoon after the branded MMC of 134 came off.

Cross Country 220010 (27.12.2025)

Though usually in the hands of a 221, today saw the Derby to Nottingham and Nottingham to Bournemouth workings in the hands of a 220, also with some red Virgin leftovers on show from its days with Virgin Cross Country. 220010 is seen at Nottingham on a break after coming in from Derby before then later departing bang on the money with the 06:41 service to Bournemouth, the service getting there one minute early at 11:10.

East Midlands Railway 222104 (27.12.2025)

One of four ex-Hull Trains class 222 Pioneers, the units had an option to be extended to five cars if required and the option was utilized with the addition of coaches from 222005 and 222006, reducing those to five car units as a result. 222104 is seen at Nottingham ready to work the 16:12 service to London St Pancras. Whilst originally with the added coach in the interim livery, it was then repainted to match the rest of the train in the full purple livery, originally the launch livery when it was given the new look in 2019.

East Midlands Railway 810006 (27.12.2025)

Whilst it will be a shame to see the fleet of 222's go, the fleet of new 810's do look the part, more especially with different cabs compared to the 800, 801, 802, 803, 805 and 807 classes with Avanti West Coast, Great Western Railway, LNER, Lumo and Transpennine Express respectively. These also are of a shorter length to enable better platform constraints at London St Pancras in the event of two of these 5 car units being coupled together. 810006 is seen at Nottingham running solo as it leaves on the 13:12 service to London St Pancras.

East Midlands Railway 810010 (27.12.2025)

Whilst a day at Nottingham Station was on the cards, an early morning trip before a shower and breakfast was on the menu too to see the one booked Voyager appearance for Cross Country along with the first East Midlands Railway Aurora departure to London. 810010 is seen leaving Nottingham with the 06:12 service to London St Pancras.

Nottingham City Transport 633 (17.12.2025)
