The first of the numerically ordered Bombardier Incentros with a five-section articulated body features here as 201 heads into Nottingham's Old Market Square with a service to Toton Lane in or just on the outskirts of Derbyshire.
Nottingham Express Transit 207 'Mavis Worthington' (30.01.2020)

The most identifiable of the Incentros perhaps here in Mavis Worthington given the Theatre Royal being advertised on one side of the tram, as illustrated. 207 is seen here in Nottingham's Old Market Square with a Phoenix Park service.
Nottingham Express Transit '213 'Mary Potter' (31.01.2020)

Now with an allover advert for E-ON clean air, 213, a five section articulated Bombardier Incentro tram, is seen in Nottingham's Old Market Square with a service to Hucknall and with the silver cabs on the outside.
Nottingham Express Transit 211 'Robin Hood' (30.01.2020)

Deliveroo no more here as this Incentro tram now wears the new livery! Too bad there is no food to see on the tram then I guess! It's the new livery here now though as 211 is seen in Nottingham's Old Market Square with a Toton Lane service. Worth noting that unlike some of the refurbished Incentros, which retain the old stop buttons, some of them have had the stop buttons replaced, including this one here.
Nottingham Express Transit 203 'Bendigo Thompson' (30.01.2020)

In order to match the newer Alstom Citadis Trams, the older Bombardier Incentro Trams started to undergo a refurbishment last year and 203 was the first tram to be outshopped into the new livery and here, it is seen in Nottingham's Old Market Square with a Clifton South service.

Nottingham Express Transit 217 'Carl Froch MBE' (30.01.2020)

 I think we might need a pair of these here! 🥊🥊

217, on of the 22 Alstom Citadis Trams in the fleet, is seen in Nottingham's Old Market Square with a service to Phoenix Park.
Nottingham Express Transit 229 'Viv Anderson MBE' (30.01.2020)

When the last of the shorter journeys to Shipstone Street departs, it means a frequency decrease looms and once the service arrives, the reduction in services really starts to take shape. 229, a five-section articulated Alstom Citadis Tram, is seen in Nottingham's Old Market Square with the last morning service to Shipstone Street and with this coming in from Clifton South.
Nottingham Express Transit 214 'Dennis McCarthy MBE' (30.01.2020)

And speaking of the Incentros, I was lucky enough to grab one of those five-section articulated trams on the third of the four shorter journeys! 214, still in its revised silver livery, is seen in Nottingham's Old Market Square with a service to Shipstone Street coming in from Toton Lane.
Nottingham Express Transit 231 'Rebecca Adlington OBE' (30.01.2020)

The second of today's shorter runs saw another five-section articulated Alstom Citadis Tram on it albeit this time with the other LED displays, hence the still displays here, just like a Bombardier Incentro! 231 is seen in Nottingham's Old Market Square with a service to Shipstone Street coming in presumably from Clifton South.
