Nottingham City Transport 334 'Amanda Ogelsby' (28.04.2023)
What could have been were the 12 plates plus 330 were repainted into the revised Bridgford Bus livery before their replacement. Now it is known that all of the single-decker diesel powered fleet are to be replaced by Yutongs, even new liveried buses like these will eventually be replaced for good. 334 is seen on Angel Row with a 7 to Gamston.

A first capture of the day of the green 11 Solo SR even before further work took place on Bridgford Bus saw me get it on one of the two additional Bridgford Bus workings before its work on the additional 54B that followed it. 334 is seen on Musters Road with an 8 to City Loop.

Nottingham City Transport 385 (28.04.2023)
Sadly didn't get the spare Solo SR of 335 that replaced this spare E200 on this route today but at least this spare itself will suffice!
385 turns right onto Upper Parliament Street with a 30 to Wollaton, supposedly usually operated by a full length spare E200 but not in this case.

Before presumably being replaced by the full length MMC spare of 399 on this route, this spare Solo SR was to be seen on it, as illustrated here. 335 is seen on Lower Parliament Street with a 39 to Carlton Valley. In the end, this bus replaced the spare Solo SR of 353 on the 53/54 before it came back on before then moving to the 30 replacing the short E200 spare of 385.
Nottingham City Transport 398 (28.04.2023)
A slight shortfall in the number of available branded buses for the 39 today left some form of silver spare action on the route, 398, the original full length spare E200, being one such bus out there, it seen on Lower Parliament Street with a 39 to Carlton Valley.
Nottingham City Transport 399 (28.04.2023)
After all of the double-decker spares except the E400 of 612, which was used on this route later, were taken up from the start, the sole stretch E200 MMC was on the University extras, as illustrated here. 399 is seen on Loughborough Road with a 4 to Clifton Campus.
Nottingham City Transport 612 (28.04.2023)
With both of the OmniDekkas out on the 1 today, it meant that once this E400 replaced the branded OmniDekka of presumably 930 (baring in mind that 932 also came off) after being replaced on the 1 by the branded E400 of 646, both of the spare E400's were out on the 4 today and briefly after working the extra 1 the branded E400 for the route in 641. As good as that would have been though, only the spare E400's were snapped today, the second being 612, it seen on Carrington Street with a 4 to City Campus.
Nottingham City Transport 925 (28.04.2023)
The only other remaining OmniDekka spare left is this ex-Lilac 27 variant currently plying its trade at Trent Bridge alongside 907, both having moved from Parliament Street for predominant use on the 4 although they can turn up anywhere else when required. 925 is seen arriving into Nottinghsm with a 1 from Loughborough.

Trent Barton 725 (26.04.2023)
The unusual dwindling number of MMC appearances on this route of late has been surprising to say the least considering their common call ups to it when needed. It seems as if the red spares have been most favored to it mind, most recently this Eclipse, as shown here. 725 is seen having left Broadmarsh Bus Station behind with The Keyworth to Keyworth via Tollerton and Plumtree.
Trent Barton 669 (26.09.2023)
Hotline red spare...
669, a Scania L94UB Wright-Solar formerly branded for the Skylink Nottingham route before becoming a Hugo spare in red, is seen on Canal Street on the approach to Broadmarsh Bus Station with an express Mainline service to Bingham via the A52 and Radcliffe.
