Nottingham City Transport 431 (17.06.2021)
The other spare on the 6 was in the form of one of the 18 plate bio-gas spares, as illustrated here. 431 is seen on Bridgford Road with a 6 to Edwalton.

Nottingham City Transport 605 (17.06.2021)
With the Bridgford Bus branded bio-gas bus of 403 off the road today and with another one in the form of 402 being preferred for afternoon school work on the A1 and nothing but, two differing spares were to be seen on the 6 and this diesel powered Enviro 400 was the biggest winner from today, the bus seen in Central Avenue, West Bridgford as it works a service to Edwalton.
Nottingham City Transport 389 (27.06.2021)
Though this may seem out of place, things like this on a weekday can be common on the extra 5 and/or indeed with the out of service move afterwards on occasion as Trent Bridge do often tend to chuck out random stuff on the once a weekday extra service during the peak. 389, a brown 15/16 branded ADL Enviro 200, is seen on Melton Road as it heads out of service to Trent Bridge for the night.
Nottingham City Transport 389 (17.06.2021)
Though the 9B did come, I was surprised to see that the extra 5 had been in front at the time on this occasion and something decent was on it too in the shape of this brown 15/16 branded ADL Enviro 200, as illustrated here. 389 is seen in Central Avenue, West Bridgford with a 5 to Gamston.
Nottingham City Transport 357 (17.06.2021)
Before eventually being replaced late on by the green 11 branded Optare Solo SR of 332 following it having been declared available for service, this grey 53/54 branded variation was out on the route and long enough for me to catch up with it. 357 is now seen on Radcliffe Road with an 11 to Lady Bay.
Nottingham City Transport 307 'Gary Parr' (17.06.2021)
After having noticed that a Bridgford Bus MMC replaced a green 11 branded Optare Solo SR on the 11 itself, I set out to see what was what and catch up with the oddity. 307 is seen as it now heads on Radcliffe Road with an 11 to Lady Bay, the bus having taken over from 333 earlier on and the bus after having originally been on the 8 before being replaced early doors by a green spare Enviro 200 in the form of 376.
Nottingham City Transport 335 (16.06.2021)
With the green 11 branded Solo SR of 331 having been on the extra 53B and 54B workings in the morning and nothing but, a spare variation in the form of 330 was on the route followed on by this pink 30/31 Solo SR after a bus swap. 335 is seen in Victoria Embankment with an 11 to Lady Bay.
Nottingham City Transport 342 (16.06.2021)
It can be a lottery as to where the out of service moves from Rushcliffe School and Gamston after the extra 9B and 5 services respectively turn up and today saw the spare Solo SR routed towards Bridgford Road, as illustrated here. 342 turns left from Musters Road onto Bridgford Road as it heads back to Trent Bridge for the night.
Nottingham City Transport 342 (16.06.2021)
Considering the fact that the extra 9B is commonly either with a blue Solo SR or a spare Solo SR, the service is worth catching up with considering it offers something that isn't an MMC for the most part, here being no exception. 342 heads on Meadows Way with the extra 9B to Wilford Hill.

Nottingham City Transport 375 (16.06.2021)
Another nail in the green spare coffin, gone is the peeling allover advert for Baumot's clean air technology on this Enviro 200 and technically the green spare livery too in place of the much more up to date new style spare livery and it looks like the Thermo King and Ingersoll Rand air con box has been retained in its white color too! At least there is still some original features on this bus that have been left unpainted, so you know! At least there is something to smile about after all! 375 is seen on Carrington Street in its newest guise with a 9 to Wilford Hill.
Nottingham City Transport 309 (16.06.2021)
The duplicate pink workings for the 30 and 28 followed on by the extra 5 were in the hands of the short wheelbase MMC spare and I was able to catch up with it on the Bridgford Bus working on the way back from Nottingham Station, as illustrated. 309 heads on Meadows Way with a 5 to Gamston.
