Nottinghamshire County Council 0049 (27.11.2024)

LJ18 FGZ, 510/511 branded, seen turning into Canal Street with a 33 from Radcliffe.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0099 (27.11.2024)

LO19 YYD seen leaving Nottingham bound for Radcliffe on the 33.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0047 (27.11.2024)

Since the axing of the 853 with the Nottsbus on Demand Z7 effectively replacing it, weekday appearances from Fiats in West Bridgford can be quite hard to come across but one was out on the 33 today, as illustrated here. 0047 (SJ67 SWN) is seen in West Bridgford with a 33 to Radcliffe.

Nottinghamshire County Council YX62 FOM (27.11.2024)

Having pondered whether to go to Beeston or Phoenix Park today, I chose Phoenix Park to see what was on the 528 and a required Fiat turned up on it, as illustrated here. YX62 FOM is seen in Phoenix Park with a 528 to Bestwood.

Nottingham City Transport 628/633 (25.11.2024)

As luck would have it, two diesel E400's ended up on the 6 today, the branded bio-gas Scania of 404 having been on some afternoon school work on the A2 being one such reason for it and that combined that with another one in the form of 403 being out of action too not helping matters. 628 is seen filling in for one of the two branded bio-gas Scanias on the 6 as it works a service towards Gamston whilst 633 fills in for the other of the two branded bio-gas Scanias on the same route as it works a service towards the City.

Nottingham City Transport 601 (25.11.2024)

As luck would have it, one of the diesel E400's was also out on the 10 today albeit one of the standard silver spares, as illustrated here. 601 is seen on Lower Parliament Street with a 10X to Rushcliffe Country Park. Nice to see the full 10X and 10C services reinstated following the completion of the roadworks on the A60.

Nottingham City Transport 500 (25.11.2024)

Now that the brown line 15/16/17 has a full compliment of 19 and 22 plate bio-gas Scanias, the two mirrorless technology spares can more often be found away from just the brown line and on other routes. 500, the celebrity variant, exemplifies this, it seen on Lower Parliament Street with a 10 to Ruddington. 

Nottingham City Transport 500 (25.11.2024)

Central Connect 216 (25.11.2024)

Seen on Carrington Street with a 92 from Newark Northgate.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0072 (25.11.2024)

Now with an almost plain rear, 0072 (LG71 DJF) is seen on Friar Lane ready to do the next 33 to Radcliffe.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0049 'The Eco Traveler' (25.11.2024)

The 510/511 branded E200 EV's don't seem to have stuck to their own network lately and only acting as backups for the 33 and 0049 (LJ18 FGZ) exemplifies this as it arrives into Friar Lane with a 33 from Radcliffe.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0051 (RX71 TNK) (25.11.2024)

Nottinghamshire County Council 0051 (25.11.2024)

The 33 has seen literally any kind of Merc on the minibus board, whether it be a Mellor example or a Cityline example and today saw one of the Cityline examples take charge, as illustrated here. 0051 (RX71 TNK) is seen on Maid Marian Way with a 33 to Radcliffe.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0051 (RX71 TNK) (25.11.2024)

Nottinghamshire County Council 0099 (25.11.2024)

Often found on the 33 as is the case on a lot of occasions but today saw the Nottsbus Connect liveried Merc out on the 510/511, as illustrated here. 0099 (LO19 YYD) is seen in Attenborough with a 510 to Beeston.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0088 (25.11.2024)

A trip to Attenborough saw me encounter two Mellor Mercs on the 510/511 diagrams and both in differing liveries too! 0088 (DF66 PSU) in the standard white livery is seen on the A6005 in Attenborough with a 510 to Stapleford.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0043 (25.11.2024)

Long Eaton Ducato...

0043 (SJ67 SVX) is seen on the A6005 in Long Eaton with a 536 to Toton.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0088/0039/YX12 CKJ (25.11.2024)

White line up...

0088 (DF66 PSU), 0039 (SJ67 SVU) and YX12 CKJ are seen at the West Bridgford base on Loughborough Road, the Merc having come off the 510/511 earlier on in the afternoon.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0071 (22.11.2024)

Though the 71 plates have ended up on the 510/511 before, their primary route is the 33, as exemplified here with 0071 (LG71 DJJ), it seen on Friar Lane with the blind set for the next service to Radcliffe.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0049 'The Eco Traveler (22.11.2024)

With only one working blind at the rear, 0049 (LJ18 FGZ), branded for the 510/511, leaves Nottingham on a 33 to Radcliffe.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0051 (22.11.2024)

RX71 TNK seen leaving Nottingham on a 33 to Radcliffe.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0051 (22.11.2024)

With the Nottsbus Connect liveried Mellor Merc out on the 510/511 for most of today, one of the newer Cityline Mercs spent the day out on the 33, as illustrated here. 0051 (RX71 TNK), Nottsbus on Demand branded, is seen in West Bridgford with a 33 to Radcliffe.

Nottinghamshire County Council 0099 (22.11.2024)

A trip to Beeston to see what the 510/511 had to offer didn't exactly go to plan after the first service that I would have seen unfortunately got cancelled for some reason. 0099 (LO19 YYD) was one down for the count though, it seen in Beeston away from its usual route of the 33 as it works on the 510/511.
