Nottingham City Transport 283 (10.05.2026)

Sundays usually see the Bridgford Bus Yutongs allocated on all of the four electric boards, so to see a spare example on one of them is a rarity! 283 is seen on Upper Parliament Street with a 9 to Wilford Hill.

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.

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With a new batch of electric Yutongs due with NCT this year, the bio-gas Scanias are going to start getting withdrawn with the cheaper to run diesel E400's staying for longer. 516 is pictured on Meadows Way with an additional football extra service to the City from Victoria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

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.
