Trent Barton 744 (31.05.2022)

One of only two Trent Barton routes to serve Leicestershire is the Skylink Express route and it seems as if there's more of a colorful mix of buses on the route at the moment, with two branded Scanias, the yellow Scania and a red Volvo usually seen as the buses of choice at present. 744, a red spare Volvo, is seen on Loughborough Road with a Skylink Express service to East Midlands Airport.

Trent Barton 657 (31.05.2022)

Tiger European TT17 GER (29.05.2022)

While Trent Barton operate with Scania Irizar i4's with a shorter wheelbase, there's other companies like Tiger European that operate with a Scania Irizar i6 or two with a long wheelbase and TT17 GER can exemplify this, it seen on Melton Road in West Bridgford and on the a46 in Leicestershire with a Nottingham Forest team coach service to Wembley.

Nottingham City Transport 500 (27.05.2022)

The inside of 500, including the unusual sight of rear facing seats upstairs, the only one of the bio-gas buses in NCT's fleet to do so.

Nottingham City Transport 500 (27.05.2022)

The greenery either side of the bio-gas Scania here makes for a very interesting shot given the fact that this has NCT's version of the 100th bio-gas livery, as illustrated here. 500 is seen on Trevor Road with a 6 to City Loop.

Nottingham City Transport 500 (27.05.2022)

Having a day away from its usual Brown services in favor of Bridgford's for a change was this bio-gas spare, as illustrated here. 500, the 100th bio-gas bus, is seen on Lower Parliament Street with a 6 to Edwalton, the bus as cover for the usual branded bio-gas bus of 403 after its involvement on one of the morning school A2 runs.

Trent Barton 216 (27.05.2022)

A shortage of available bus drivers caused The Keyworth to run with three buses and The Cotgrave with only two! 216, a Mango spare MMC, turned up on the pink route though, it seen on Melton Road with a service to Keyworth via Tollerton and Plumtree.

Nottingham City Transport 909 (26.05.2022)

Not too much interest on Bridgford's and Greens today! At least a 61 plate OmniDekka on the 6 will suffice!

909 turns left from Trevor Road onto Stamford Road with a 6 to Edwalton, the bus having replaced the branded bio-gas Scania of 404 early doors.

Trent Barton 110 (26.05.2022)

After having done some Indigo work this morning before the branded MMC of 212 was available for service, a switch to The Keyworth was to follow for this Mango spare MMC after one of the usual branded Eclipses in the form of 731 came off the route. 110 heads on Melton Road with The Keyworth to Keyworth.
