Perhaps it isn't the best shot but 238, a Y reg plate Old Optare Solo, is seen here in Central Avenue, West Bridgford on a Bridgford Bus 5 service to City Loop.
Wednesday, 29 May 2019
Having ran in late earlier, this Y reg plate Old Optare Solo had its role on the 5 temporarily covered by the Bridgford Bus branded Optare Solo SR of 357. A bus swap didn't take place but 357 was sent out to the rescue for one service only before this bus restarted service from Victoria Centre. 238 arrives in empty at Victoria Centre in order to form the next 5 to Gamston.
One of the oldest buses in NCT's fleet here is 238 and at last a shot of it on something different for a change! 238 is seen here in Nottingham City Centre with a 5 to Gamston and this bus was the one that bought me and mum in here from Mellors Road bus stop on Melton Road in West Bridgford.
Looks like NCT must have been playing around with their buses and this was the bus that was on the all day! One cancelled service had lead to the as said newer Bridgford Bus branded Optare Solo SR stepping in on one of its journeys but 238 was on hand in the main today to keep the service going... well perhaps a surprise it wasn't the branded bus but I guess 238 needed a decent run more, so I shall not complain one bit! 238 arrives at Mellors Road bus stop on Melton Road to pick me and mum up while on a 5 to City Loop.
Due to the Y reg plate Old Opare Solo having ran in late on a previous run from Gamston, this Bridgford Bus branded Optare Solo SR managed to step in on one of the journeys instead! As to why this hadn't been on the 5 all day, I don't know but there you go! 357 is seen here arriving in at Victoria Centre bus stop on Lower Parliament Street with a 5 from Gamston, the display set to out of service and that I believe for it to head back to Trent Bridge.
