Nottingham City Transport 251 (08.02.2025)

With a Bridgford Bus example in use at a launch event this morning, one of the E10 spares was being used on the network in its place, as illustrated here. 251 is seen in West Bridgford with an 8 to City Loop.

Launching of the new green...

263, a brand new Yutong E10 for Bridgford Bus, is seen in West Bridgford Town Centre attending a launch event after the recent introduction into service for the type to the Bridgford Bus network as replacements for the 69 plate E200 MMC's.

Trent Barton 144 (03.02.2025)

Trailing MMC...

144 is seen turning into Carrington Street with The Cotgrave to Cotgrave with 102 photobombing whilst on The Keyworth.

Trent Barton 145 (03.02.2025)

Not a bad choice for The Cotgrave at first light since this was eventually replaced by the branded MMC of 144, also on a 69 plate, so a fine example of Trent Barton getting it right with this MMC for once despite its non-dedication to The Cotgrave! 145 is seen on Beastmarket Hill with The Cotgrave to Cotgrave, which was changed to 144 at Broadmarsh Bus Station.

Now considered a mundane spare allocation for this route since the change to mostly MMC's as the branded vehicles of choice, so expect Mango MMC's to be more common on here as and when required. 145 is seen arriving into Nottingham with a Keyworth from Keyworth, which was actually started at Victoria Embankment due to the late start of the service.

Trent Barton 740 (03.02.2025)

Amongst the snaps of the branded vehicles on The Keyworth, I somehow managed to snap up two spares on it too, including this newly repainted ex-Villager Eclipse, which had been out on the Skylink Express all day otherwise. 740 is seen heading on Melton Road with The Keyworth to Keyworth.

Trent Barton 730 (03.02.2025)

A nice temporary little addition to the new timetable on The Keyworth is this 09 plate Eclipse in the old livery for use as a backup spare when needed as was the case today. 730 is seen on Canal Street with The Keyworth to Keyworth.
