Trent Barton 669 (02.06.2025)

Due to 143's fire damage, the 05 plate Scania continues to see use at Manvers Street garage to keep everything up and running until eventual replacements are finally sourced for later on in the year. 669 is seen roaring down the hill on Melton Road with The Keyworth to Nottingham.

Trent Barton 506 (02.06.2025)

Due to what appeared to be a failed branded MMC on the Skylink Nottingham at East Midlands Gateway in the form of 127, the red Solo SR spare was on hand to cover its remaining journeys post the cancellation of the Nottingham service. 506 leaves Nottingham on a Skylink Nottingham to Coalville.

Seen captured in one of its usual locations of West Bridgford is Solo SR 506 in its red spare livery as it works a Rushcliffe Villager to Nottingham. In the end, this bus was replaced on here by the branded variant of 504 on here late on in the afternoon due to the green bus's availability for service.

Trent Barton 217 (02.06.2025)

Moments after one Mango MMC left on the i4, another one arrived in on another i4 soon after. 217 is seen on Maid Marian Way with an i4 from Sandiacre. In the end, this bus had been on the route for the morning peak, where it was then eventually effectively replaced by the branded MMC of 141 after having finished work on its main board, this bus was put to further use on the route on what was a cancelled slot here originally.

Trent Barton 145 (02.06.2025)

Being with stop-start technology, this does often see use on routes equipped with it, such as The Cotgrave and, as illustrated here, the i4. 145 is seen leaving Nottingham on an i4 to Sandiacre.

Trent Barton 110 (02.06.2025)

After its Skylink Nottingham work, it was over to the i4 for a single trip, which meant its last two Skylink Diagrqms were cancelled out to make way for the cover work on the route to cater for the branded MMC of 132 having earlier failed on Friar Lane before its fix which allowed it to effectively replace the red spare Volvo of 725. 110 is seen on Friar Lane heading to do the 18:07 service to Derby.

Many of TB's Manvers Street spares appeared to cover more than one route today although MMC wise, it was only the case for this one of the trio of Mangos, starting out with the Skylink Nottingham, as illustrated here. 110 is seen on Maid Marian Way with a Skylink Nottingham to Coalville.
