DB Cargo UK 60044 'Dowlow' (01.06.2021)

Behind the tug on the steel came another one on the tanks, as illustrated here. 60044 is seen at Nottingham with the return empties from Kingsbury-Humber.

DB Cargo UK 60007 'The Spirit of Tom Kendell' (01.06.2021)

Tug 007! 🔫

60007 in the Switch on to Safety DB Schenker livery is seen at Nottingham with a late running empty steel train from Toton Up Sidings-Boston Sleaford Sidings.

GBRF 66787 (01.06.2021)

Good to see 6M81 for once!

66787 passes through Nottingham Station with 6M81, the 13:45 loaded coal hoppers from Immingham Humber International Terminal-Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station.

Nottingham City Transport 330 (01.06.2021)

Back on original home turf!

330, a new style spare Optare Solo SR, is seen on Radcliffe Road with a green 11 service to Lady Bay.

Nottingham City Transport 356 (01.06.2021)

Since being replaced by 69 plate MMC's on the Bridgford Bus network, thus allowing the Y reg Solos to be withdrawn, the former Solo SR's for the route have gained the spare livery, with four being branded up for the grey 53/54 route and four being classed as actual spares. 356 is one of the four spares and here, the bus is seen on Meadows Way with the extra 5 to Gamston.

Nottingham City Transport 354 'Helen Richardson-Walsh' (01.06.2021)

As time was against me after having left Nottingham Station later than I would have hoped, I headed straight to Meadows Way to catch up with the peak-time workings, both of which didn't disappoint! 354, a new style spare Optare Solo SR, rounds the bend on Meadows Way with the extra 9B to Wilford Hill. In the end, this service was due to be run by 342, a new style spare Optare Solo SR, but a bus swap between 342 and this bus on the blue 40/41/42 route meant that this bus did the extra 9B instead.

Nottingham City Transport 989 (01.06.2021)

A perhaps chance encounter on the 6 today was that of an OmniDekka vice the usual 17 plate bio-gas Scania! 989 heads on Bridgford Road with its last run of the day to Edwalton.
