Nottingham City Transport 601 (10.05.2026)

A chance find on the 10 late on was that of a diesel E400 spare, as illustrated here. 601 is seen on Loughborough Road with a 10 to Ruddington. In the end, after being on the 68/69 all day, this bus got tasked with the late work on the 10 after replacing the only branded bio-gas Scania for it to be out on the road in the form of 406.

Alongside the net spare allocation of the purple bio-gas Scania on the 10 was an actual spare allocation for the other spare allocation in the form of the 17 plate variant equipped with the camera mirrors, as illustrated here. 430 is seen on Upper Parliament Street with a 10C to Rushcliffe Country Park.

Sunday misallocation...

475, a purple 87/88/89 branded bio-gas Scania, is seen heading towards Trent Bridge with a late running green line 10C to Nottingham. Upon arrival, this bus headed back for PSG after its last booked 10 to Ruddington was duplicated with the turquoise 77 branded variant of 516.

With a new batch of electric Yutongs due with NCT this year, the bio-gas Scanias are going to start getting withdrawn with the cheaper to run diesel E400's staying for longer. 516 is pictured on Meadows Way with an additional football extra service to the City from Victoria Embankment.

Nottingham City Transport 535 (10.05.2026)

Right green, wrong shade!

535 is seen on Meadows Way running what appears to be an advertised 6 towards the City, it in reality being a football extra from Victoria Embankment.

Nottingham City Transport 506 (10.05.2026)

Because the diesel E400's operate quite a lot of services on Sundays due to them being cheaper to run, the bio-gas buses from various routes can often be seen helping out on additional services on Sundays when there's football taking place at the City Ground. 506, a yellow 68/69 branded example, is seen on Meadows Way as it carries the vast array of football fans from Victoria Embankment, calling at all stops by request on its short journey towards the City.
