Nottingham City Transport 613 'Sheku Kanneh Maison' (10.12.2024)

Due to the failure of the Bridgford Bus MMC of 302, one of the E400's was dispatched onto the new look 7 as a result, thus making for a rare appearance for a decker in Edwalton Fields, which is where the E400, 612 to be exact, is pictured as it gets ready to do the next 7 to Nottingham.

Nottingham City Transport 431 (11.12.2024)

The 10 has seen a lot of spares on it lately, not helped by one of their buses having been involved in an accident with a tram recently, and, while the accident damaged tram managed to return to service, it's been an opposite story for the bus, hence at least one spare being used daily on the 10 although today saw two bio-gas spares on it, with both being in the usual revised spare livery. 431 is pictured outside Victoria Centre ready to do the next 10 to Ruddington.

Nottingham City Transport 476 (11.12.2024)

Interesting to see two of the ex-purples now silver with three of the ex-oranges now purple and providing for interesting interior varieties on the network. The first change on the purple line came in the firm of a frequency decrease, resulting in two of their 19 plates going spare. 476 is seen at Victoria Embankment with a 10 to Ruddington.
