Nottingham City Transport 433 (10.12.2025)

After being replaced by the purple bio-gas Scania of 471 on the 87/88, this bio-gas Scania then moved to the 78 after the turquoise E400 of 656 came off and I was able to catch up with it in Nottingham as a result. 433 is seen on Upper Parliament Street with a 78 to Strelley.

Northern Trains Limited 158756 (06.12.2025)

Nice to see a three car unit on something different for a change as these are often found on Wigan diagrams for example, so to see one at Nottingham is a rarity! 158756 leaves Nottingham on the 14:18 service to Leeds.

 

Northern Trains Limited 158794/158853 (06.12.2025)

Northern appear to have strengthened some Saturday services to three or four cars from the usual two for some reason, not that I'm complaining with a pair of 158's snapped from today, which I thought were East Midlands Railway ones until they came closer when I then realized that they were Northern ones! 158794 is seen on departure at Nottingham with the 11:17 service to Leeds with 158853 on the rear.

Northern Trains Limited 158787 (06.12.2025)

Before my break for breakfast, there was time to catch one of Northern's 158's beforehand, as illustrated here. 158787 is seen at Nottingham with a service from Leeds. In the end, after working the 07:18 service to Leeds, this unit was replaced by 195002 in preparation for its later on coupling to 195001 for the 15:09 service to Nottingham.

Northern Trains Limited 158870 (06.12.2025)

Four ex-ScotRail 158's are operating with Northern since being surplus to requirement on Scotland's network and I like how Northern have kept the new headlights that ScotRail put on originally in place of the older ones, which can otherwise be found on most of Northern's fleet. 158870 is seen arriving at Nottingham on a service from Leeds.

Northern Trains Limited 150222 (06.12.2025)

No units the same all round on the Northern services today!

150222 is seen at Nottingham bringing in a service from Leeds.

Cross Country 220008 (06.12.2025)

Whilst it's predominantly the class 170's that make the Nottingham Station appearances, the Voyager fleet make various appearances, mostly with one early doors, as illustrated here. 220008 is seen leaving Nottingham on an empty coaching stock move to Derby to start a Cross Country service to Bournemouth, which today was unable to start from Nottingham due to a shortage of train managers.
