Nottinghamshire County Council 0051 (21.11.2024)

Due to the usual Nottsbus Connect Merc of 0099 (LO19 YYD) being out elsewhere today (the 510/511 by my understanding), combined with the white Merc of 0088 (DF66 PSU) covering for an ECOnnect on one of the usually electric operated 33's, one of the newer Cityline Mercs was brought out to do the dedicated minibus workings for the 33 instead, as illustrated here. 0051 (RX71 TNK), branded for the Nottsbus on Demand, is seen on Carrington Street with a 33 from Radcliffe. Not a bad choice for the 33 for a route that usually has USB power with their electric buses as these buses have USB power on board too, so perhaps a pity that they technically don't have dedicated status for the route!
