Stagecoach East Midlands 27186 (19.07.2026)

An early start for me was on the cards today in preparation for seeing the South Notts cavalcade of buses leave Nottingham on their first run to Loughborough at 9:20 although I also decided to catch up with the booked single-decker working on the Pronto, which then moves to the 1 afterwards and today saw one of the branded Millers for the 1 in charge of proceedings, as illustrated here. 27186 is seen on Mansfield Road with a Pronto to Mansfield.

A somewhat unusual appearance on the 141 from today came from this E200, as illustrated here. 36515 is seen on Hucknall Road with a 141 to Sutton.

Stagecoach East Midlands 27184 (19.07.2026)

What was once a Miller for this TransBus E300 was soon de-branded to become plain Beachball before then being repainted into first-gen Local, as illustrated here. 27184 is pictured outside City Hospital with a 141 to Sutton.

Stagecoach East Midlands 24197 (19.07.2026)

One of Mansfield's new livery MAN E300's was on the 141 today just for something different in livery terms as the older Local livery was the mainstay of the other boards today. 24197 is pictured on Hucknall Road with a 141 from Sutton.

 

Stagecoach East Midlands 24194 (19.07.2026)

A welcome return on the streets of Mansfield Road for the MAN E300's since the Pronto withdrew them and the Transbus examples in favor of E400 MMC's although these see use on either the 141 or the Sherwood Arrow in Nottingham, as exemplified here with 24194, the bus as seen on Mansfield Road with a Sherwood Arrow to New Ollerton and Worksop.

Stagecoach East Midlands 24201 (18.07.2026)

It seems different seeing more of these MAN E300's at both Mansfield and Worksop following transfer from Hull with some TransBus and K230UB examples moving in the opposite direction. If only the transfers didn't take place since I'm personally not a fan of these examples although I did elect to catch up with a few on some of their often regular duties, including on the Sherwood Arrow for example. 24201 is seen on Mansfield Road with a Sherwood Arrow from Worksop and New Ollerton.

Stagecoach East Midlands 28617 (18.07.2026)

After the MAN E300 of 24201 came off the Sherwood Arrow, this K230UB example came out to play for the evening after having finished service on the 22, hence why efforts were made to catch up with it. 28617 is seen on Mansfield Road near Victoria Bus Station with a Sherwood Arrow from Worksop and New Ollerton.
