Nottingham City Transport 640 (18.12.2024)
What doesn't normally happen on Bridgford Bus these days is the appearance of two deckers on the route covering for MMC's but that was to be the case today and so efforts were made to catch up with them. 640, a new style spare E400, is seen on Upper Parliament Street with a 9 to Wilford Hill.
Nottingham City Transport 476 (18.12.2024)
The 48 got a temporary rare taste of bio-gas power today after the diesel E400 spare of 604 had issues and I was able to snap the bio-gas spare before it was too late, more especially as this was later replaced by the One City spare E400 of 660. 476 is seen not far from Nottingham Station with a 48 from Clifton.
Nottingham City Transport 624 'Robert Howard' (18.12.2024)
A couple of unusual visitors to the 89 came about today and, remarkably, both spent the whole day out on the route without being swapped despite the usual branded bio-gas Scania 470 being on the 87 for the morning peak plus one of its branded counterparts in the form of 475 ending up on the A2 as one of the buses ferrying the schoolkids to their lessons. 624 is unusually seen about to turn into Upper Parliament Street with an 89 from Rise Park.
Nottingham City Transport 621 (18.12.2024)
With university off for the winter break, the Uni 4 and even the Uni 34 buses can and do end up elsewhere, as exemplified here. 621 is seen on Lower Parliament Street with a 44 from Gedling. In the end, this bus had been out on here but it was replaced at lunchtime by the usual branded bio-gas Scania of 415, hence the move to some school A2 work for the afternoon for this bus.
Nottingham City Transport 661 (18.12.2024)
Whilst a pink branded bio-gas Scania was out on the 89, one spare was out on the 28 today, which actually soon turned to two spares when the 19 plate bio-gas spare of 477, which had been out on Limes for the morning peak, signed onto the route replacing the pink branded variant of 486. The most important spare out on the 28 though was this 65 plate E400, as illustrated here. 661 is pictured on Upper Parliament Street with a 28 to Bilborough.

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 636 (10.12.2024)
Due to a shortage of vehicles at Trent Bridge, Parliament Street was summoned to help out on the 9 with this E400 being used on here prior to being swapped for the Bridgford Bus MMC of 303 after it finished its work on the 53B, 34 and 54B extras. 636 is seen on Bridgford Road with a 9 to Wilford Hill.
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.
