Nottingham City Transport 354 'Helen Richardson-Walsh'/207/426/901 (19.10.2017)

Outside Victoria Centre, a bus substitution happened, where the Scania OmniTown of 207 had been out for the morning on the 7 but the branded Optare Solo SR of 354 was available for service early in the afternoon, so were swapped round, while two silver spare double-decker buses, one a bio-gas Scania ADL Enviro 400 CBG City and another being an Optare OmniDekka were also involved in this shot here. 207 is seen here after coming off the 7, 354 in front of it seen ready to take up the rest of the day on 7's to/from Gamston. Behind 207 is 426 on a 6 to Edwalton while heading on the Pathfinder 100 to Southwell is Optare OmniDekka 901, seen heading toward the zebra crossing.

Worth of note is that during the day, there were a fair few bus substitutions on Green Line, two being on Bridgford Bus, the 7 being one of the routes involved, as here illustrates. I even saw a Bridgford Bus branded Optare Solo SR run out of service. No wonder why a full set of Bridgford Bus branded Optare Solo SR buses weren't out then!
