Nottingham City Transport 354 'Helen Richardson-Walsh' (29.09.2021)

A couple of spares were spotted out on the green 11 route today, both with Solo SR's, including this, as illustrated here. 354 is seen outside Nottingham's Victoria Centre with an 11 to Lady Bay. This bus was one that had been out on the 53B and 54B boards before most likely taking over from a Solo SR of some variation on the 11.

The extra board on the 40/41/42 was made up of this former Bridgford Bus Solo SR, as illustrated here. 355 is seen on Lower Parliament Street, the blind already reset for the next 42 to St Ann's and the bus also having been on the extra board for the grey 53/54 in the morning.

Nottingham City Transport 344 (29.09.2021)

Complete with odd pink paint on the back of the bus, 344, a new style spare Optare Solo SR, turns off of Upper Parliament Street, the blind already reset for a 42 to St Ann's.

Nottingham City Transport 349 (29.09.2021)

One or two of the pink 30/31 branded Solo SR's were out and about today, including this on the 40/41/42 after the blue branded variation of 338 came off. 349 is seen on Upper Parliament Street, the blind already reset for the next 40 to City Hospital.

Nottingham City Transport 399 (29.09.2021)

Although the same length as most of Trent Barton's examples, this MMC is the only long wheelbase variation with NCT, so worth keeping an eye out for it! 399 is seen on Lower Parliament Street with a 39 from Carlton Valley.

Nottingham City Transport 385 (29.09.2021)

Before coming off the blue 39 route after being swapped for a full length branded variation, this new style spare ADL Enviro 200 was to be seen out on the route, as illustrated here. 385 heads onto Milton Street with a 39 from Carlton Valley, the bus having also been seen on the navy 4 route later on in the day.
