Trent Barton 147 (09.01.2025)
As far as non-Solo SR spares go on the RV1, an Eclipse almost always seems to end up on it now, so to see an MMC on it at present is very much a rarity, more especially if it's one of the ex-Skylink Derby examples, as illustrated here. 147 is seen in West Bridgford with an RV1 to Newton.
Trent Barton 110 (09.01.2025)
The added addition of the British Rail logo on the Skylink Express showings towards Nottingham is certainly quite something as the other Trent Barton routes of the RV1, Mainline, Cotgrave and Keyworth show train station on the displays. Perhaps nothing as good as the good old British Rail logo though on the Skylink Express showings, as illustrated here on 110, one of the many Mango MMC's with Trent, it seen on Carrington Street with a service from East Midlands Airport. In the end, this bus also covered the i4 today after having been replaced on this route by the branded Eclipse of 739.
Kinchbus 346 (09.01.2025)
Stalled moment...
346, one of the new Kinch MMC's, is seen having come to an abrupt stop on Canal Street after departing from Broadmarsh Bus Station with its 9 to Loughborough, the bus then seen turning into Carrington Street to continue on with her journey after firing back up into life. In the end, due to a fault on the Mango Eclipse of 715 that saw it replaced by another Mango example in the form of 740 and prior to 715 later replacing 714 of the same type in the same livery, this bus ended up on the 9 all day, which was then coupled with an additional late appearance on the route after the Mango Eclipse of 735 came off.

Cross Country 220005 (04.01.2026)
Pride in Nottingham...
220005, Cross Country's pride 220, rests at Nottingham on platform 5 before heading out on the 14:16 service to Cardiff Central, which was capped at Birmingham New Street due to a shortage of train drivers. In the end, this unit replaced 170102 on here after the Turbostar had problems with the on board safety systems although a Voyager during the day at Nottingham does make for something different since these are used on their Intercity routes to the likes of Penzance, Taunton, Bournemouth, Reading, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen etc.
