The days of bio-gas appearances on Sunday levels of service on the 43/44 have certainly been numbered on various occasions with diesel spares the preferred option on the network, usually in the form of one alongside the red E400's although today saw three diesel spares alongside a bio-gas one and two of the five red E400's. 633 is pictured outside Pryzm with a 44 from Gedling.
Nottingham City Transport 614 (04.05.2026)

It's a lottery as to what spares turn up on the 43/44 on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays but today saw both diesel and bio-gas in use on there albeit with mostly diesel on this occasion. 614 is pictured on King Street ready to start its first service of the day, a 43 to Bakersfield.

Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays see the 43/44 interwork and is usually seen with the red 43 branded E400's on most of the boards but today saw four spares on cover duty, including this bio-gas Scania, as illustrated here. 426 is seen on King Street with the blind set for the next 44 to Gedling.
