Nottingham City Transport 633 (28.10.2026)

Whilst this E400 spare was unusually out on the 7/9 today, I decided to document the working at the terminus for the 7 in Edwalton Fields since deckers aren't normally seen here and even the Solo SR of 358 branded for the Pathfinder 90 would have made an appearance here too if it wasn't replaced on its first 7 of the day! Proving that one decent diesel powered spare is better than none though is 633 as it rests in between trips.

Nottingham City Transport 358 (28.10.2026)

Only one chance to catch up with this Pathfinder 90 branded Solo SR on Bridgford Bus was to be had today and I managed to document it just outside Nottingham Station whilst it was still out. 358 is seen on Carrington Street with a 7 to Edwalton Fields, the bus of which was subsequently replaced at Victoria Embankment on this run by the E10 spare of 283.

Nottingham City Transport 251 (28.10.2026)

One of the original E10 spares was out on the 7/9 today, as illustrated here. 251 is seen on Canal Street with a 9 to Clifton.

Nottingham City Transport 283 (28.10.2026)

358, a Pathfinder 90 branded Solo SR, had been out on the 7/9 but this one of the E10 spares was declared available for service early on and so the buses were swapped at Victoria Embankment. 283 is seen on Carrington Street as it spends the rest of the day on 7/s and 9/s to/from Edwalton Fields and Clifton respectively.

Nottingham City Transport 284 (28.10.2026)

My first ride of the day ended up being a short one towards Nottingham Station on this E10 spare and there was just time for me to document it in West Bridgford beforehand. 284 is pictured in West Bridgford with a 12C to Nottingham.

Nottingham City Transport 208 (28.10.2026)

A surprise all day allocation to the 5/8 today was that of a blue 39 branded E12! 208 is unusually seen on Canal Street with a 5 to Edwalton.

Nottingham City Transport 253 (28.10.2026)

With the 11 using two of its three branded buses today, one of them ended up on Bridgford Bus for the day, as illustrated here. 253 is seen on Carrington Street with an 8 to City Loop.
