Nottingham City Transport 266 (03.08.2026)

In a morning on a weekday, there's a booked Yutong working on the 10 and it tends to be operated with one of the Bridgford Bus ones and today saw it being operated by one that later failed on the 5/9, thus making this capture having been all the more important! 266 is pictured at the end of Rugby Road with a 10 to Nottingham

Seen in West Bridgford minus a working front blind with a 5 to Nottingham.

Nottingham City Transport 284 (03.08.2026)

A common occurrence on the new look Bridgford Bus are any one of the brand new E10's as various buses tend to see use on it daily. 284 is pictured in West Bridgford with an 8 to Boundary Road.

Nottingham City Transport 277 (03.08.2026)

Whilst the green 11 branded Yutongs see use on the 12, various spares also see use on the route too and as luck may have it, one of the recently repainted ones was on the route today, as illustrated here. 277 is seen in West Bridgford with a 12 to Cropwell Bishop.

Nottingham City Transport 255 (03.08.2026)

An almost non-oddity on the 12 daily is that of a green Yutong from the 11 on the 12 since there's no branded 12's to run the service at present. 255 is pictured in West Bridgford with a 12 to Cropwell Bishop.
