Nottingham City Transport 635 (13.04.2026)

A rather unexpected catch on the 90 from today was that of an E400 spare following the early sign-off from the branded Solo SR of 356. 635 is seen in Victoria Embankment with a 90 to Fernwood.

Nottingham City Transport 661 (13.04.2026)

The pair of generic 65 plate E400 spares used to spend most of their time on the 78/79 when they had their older spare livery until a reduction in PVR on the network saw them no longer needed for it with more chances to escape on other routes as a result. 661 is seen outside Victoria Centre with a 10 to Ruddington.

Nottingham City Transport 615 (13.04.2026)

Whilst the two celebrity deckers were out on the 6, a couple of the generic spare examples were out on the 10, making for slightly more mundane allocations despite the diesel power on the bio-gas route. 615 is seen on Lower Parliament Street with a 10 to Ruddington.

Nottingham City Transport 603 (13.04.2026)

Pride of Nottingham to Gamston...

603 in its Pride livery is seen on Meadows Way with a 6 to Gamston Morrisons.

Nottingham City Transport 627 (13.04.2026)

Considering the fact that there were three bio-gas spares on the 6 the next day, one of which was later replaced by 404 branded for the route and another one of which came back out onto the route, after being on it all day, to effectively replace the branded vehicle from 21:02 onwards, it was nice to see two of NCT's celebrity deckers see use on the route in a rarity for it! 627 in its 125th Anniversary livery is seen turning from Canal Street into Carrington Street with a 6 to Gamston.

Nottingham City Transport 428 (14.04.2026)

A relatively new diagram on the 6 is usually a booked spare from 21:02 onwards, which is usually booked as a bio-gas, as illustrated here. 428 is pictured in West Bridgford on a 6 to Nottingham. In the end, prior to working on this route for the evening period, this bus replaced one of the orange branded examples on the 36 in the form of 449 following a bus fault.
