Kinchbus 831 (25.08.2022)

For some reason today, Kinchbus had their wires crossed and sent one of their Versas branded for the 11 and 12 off the 11 and onto the 9 to replace the Solo SR spare of 501. 831 is unusually seen on Loughborough Road in Nottingham with a 9 to Loughborough, not Nottingham as advertised.

Stagecoach East Midlands 27185 (22.08.2022)

After three of the Pronto MMC's in 10979, 10980 and 11277 ended up elsewhere on other routes, more than just the 'Pronto' spare was on the route today as this Mansfield Miller branded TransBus Enviro 300, also ex-Pronto, was also on there, as illustrated here. 27185 arrives at Victoria Bus Station on a lengthy Pronto from Mansfield before later departing on the next short Pronto to Mansfield.

Stagecoach East Midlands 11278 (22.08.2022)

Originally due to have included 11279 and 11280 as part of the Mansfield batch that included four for the Pronto route, the plan was shelved as the last two spare MMC's went to within the east on loan originally but then permanently, it leaving this MMC as the only 69 plate spare to be based at Mansfield and now the only 69 plate to be in Beachball livery, as illustrated here. 11278 arrives at Victoria Bus Station on a short Pronto working from Mansfield.

Stagecoach East Midlands 11276 (22.08.2022)

Looking somewhat unusual with its odd panels on, 11276, a 69 plate Pronto MMC, leaves Victoria Bus Station on a Pronto to Chesterfield.

Stagecoach East Midlands 10981 (22.08.2022)

Seemingly having followed suit sometime with the 69 plate Pronto MMC's in being unadvertised on the rear, this is now the only 18 plate variation to be unadvertised on the rear since it was removed. 10981 is seen leaving Victoria Bus Station behind on a Pronto to Mansfield.

Stagecoach East Midlands 10975 (22.08.2022)

Now the Commonwealth Games have finished, the selected Pronto MMC's that temporarily transferred over to Hull whilst some of their MMC's were helping out for the games are all now back at their respective bases of Lincoln and Mansfield, the Mansfield based MMC's following suit after the Lincoln based ones. 10975 is seen arriving at Victoria Bus Station with a Pronto from Chesterfield.

Nottingham City Transport 603 (22.08.2022)

Our buses are for you, me, him, her, they, them and everyone else.

603, an E400 Scania in its Pride livery, gives a perfect illustration of who the buses are for as it passes the pedestrians on Mansfield Road with a purple 89 service from Rise Park, the blind set ready for the next trip back there up north.

On 19.08.2022, the day saw me catch up with some of the brand new bio-gas deckers for the orange line, so here are some shots from the adventure, which include some of the brand new bio-gas deckers, also including the inside of one, plus some other buses, minibuses and coaches as well.
