A quick lunchtime trip to Gamston was on the cards this afternoon to catch up with the minibus board for the 33, which today was in the hands of this Nottsbus on Demand branded Merc. 0055 (RX71 TNL) is seen at Gamston Morrisons with a 33 to Nottingham.
Nottinghamshire County Council 0072 (06.01.2025)
A fairly standard allocation for this route today saw this BYD E200 EV out on its usual network of the 33, as illustrated here although due to Queen's Drive Park and Ride being closed due to a flooding risk, this had to come from the County Hall base before and after service today. 0072 (LG71 DJF) is seen leaving Gamston Morrisons on an empty move to Radcliffe to pick up the next 33 to Nottingham.

With the Mellor Merc of 0099 (LO19 YYD) out on the Z7, one of the pair of Nottsbus on Demand Cityline Mercs had the honors of being out on the 33 before the takeover from Mansfield after lunch. 0055 (RX71 TNV) is seen in Nottingham, firstly with a 33 from Radcliffe and then with a 33 back out to Radcliffe.

Nottingham City Transport 345 (03.01.2025)
After the pink line 30 branded Yutong E12 of 203 came off the route, one of the Solo SR spares was dispatched onto the route to help out for the late afternoon and evening, as illustrated here. 345 is seen having arrived at Victoria Centre with a 30 from Wollaton.
Nottingham City Transport 633 (03.01.2025)
Whilst mirrorless spares are unusual for the 10, diesel E400's can often be unusual for the route given the fact that these have seen a lot of replacements by the branded 17 plate bio-gas Scanias during the course of 2024 although today saw this one out on the route all day. 633 is seen on Angel Row with a 10 to Ruddington.
Nottingham City Transport 430 (03.01.2025)
Perhaps a rare breed of bio-gas has with cameras in place of conventional mirrors in this 17 plate one as 500 and the 19 plates for the 15/16/17 have the camera mirrors with all of the other 17 plate bio-gas with the standard mirror setup. 430 is seen turning into Angel Row with a 10 to Ruddington.
Nottingham City Transport 352 (03.01.2025)
Now that the next batch of Yutongs are due to enter service this year, the remaining Solo SR's are now running on borrowed time and, as luck may have it, one of the spares was out on the 8 today, as illustrated here. 352 turns into Bridgford Road with an 8 to Wilford Hill.
Nottingham City Transport 399 (03.01.2025)
With the next batch of Yutongs due for delivery this year, the Bridgford Bus MMC's plus the two spares are expected to leave NCT in favour of other operators or get used on the Grey Line 53/54 temporarily replacing the Solo SR's of 357-360. 399 is seen on Angel Row on one of its final few months at least in passenger service with a 5 to Edwalton.
