A chance snap whilst heading to Radcliffe on the 33 with the Cityline Merc of 0051 (RX71 TNJ) was that of the preserve Mellor Strata Merc for the service out on the Z7 for a change, as illustrated here. 0099 (LO19 YYD) is seen at Gamston Morrisons whilst working the Nottsbus on Demand Z7 around Central Rushcliffe.
