Nottingham City Transport 350 (13.01.2025)

Only a small number of Solo SR's saw what would have been just over a probable mid-life refurbishment after the full seat replacement on all of them before then, with the E200MMC/E400 CBG City style interior rolled out on a trial basis. 350, one of the refurbished batch, is seen heading on Meadows Way with an 8 to Wilford Hill.

Ahead of the Yutongs arriving for the 3, 48, 61, 70/71 and soon Bridgford Bus, the remaining Solo SR's must be running on borrowed time now and only has the 11 plate soldiered on into 2025 due to 349's fire whilst out on the 46/47 last year, thus meaning a scrapping of the 61 plate with the 11 plate being retained in its place. 330 is seen heading down Market Street with a 5 to Edwalton.

Nottingham City Transport 358 (13.01.2025)

Usually the extras for the 30 and 28 with whatever bus is on it would then mean that it finishes the day on 5's but this did end up on the 39 late on, which I didn't have the chance to catch up with unfortunately although a tick in the book with it on the 5 did happen though, as illustrated here. 358 is seen on Meadows Way with a 5 to Edwalton.

Perhaps the most mundane of all the unusual workings snapped from today in this 53/54 branded Solo SR, which, prior to the move to its extra work on the 30, 28 and Bridgford Bus extras, had been replaced by one of its sisters on its usual network in the form of 359, which was on the route for the morning peak. 358 is seen at Victoria Centre ready to do a 30 to Wollaton.

Nottingham City Transport 254 (13.01.2025)

A taster of what's to come for the Bridgford Bus network when Bridgford Bus branded Yutongs in this green example enter service in the coming months. 254 is seen in West Bridgford with a 9 to Wilford Hill, the bus having completed an afternoon peak on the 40/41/42 extras.

The extra board for the 40/41/42 was also green with this Yutong branded for the 11 making an appearance, as illustrated here. 254 is seen on Lower Parliament Street with a 41 to St Ann's.
