Nottingham City Transport 606 (26.05.2025)

What was once spare operation on Sunday levels of service on the 43/44 tends to be a lot of red with the E400's for the 43 the main buses of choice for it now although on this occasion, four of them instead of the full compliment of five were out, including this predominantly unadvertised one, as illustrated here. 606 is seen leaving the main City with a 44 to Gedling.

Nottingham City Transport 410 (26.05.2025)

On a Sunday level of service, the red bio-gas buses don't tend to see any use although today saw one on the 43/44 circuit albeit prior to being replaced by one of the diesel E400 spares in the form of 635. 410 is seen outside Victoria Centre with a 43 to Bakersfield.

United Kingdom - National Police Air Service G-POLV (26.05.2025)

Police planes aren't all too common around the UK with the helicopters the common variant but East Midlands Airport currently have one or two police planes in their fleet, one of which I managed to catch up with late on in the evening. G-POLV is seen finally heading towards East Midlands Airport, the plane having been dispatched to an incident in Liverpool before a brief late diversion towards Heanor prior to its second landing attempt at East Midlands, hence the first aborted landing.

Nottingham City Transport 357 (25.05.2025)

Before its work on the 30, this grey 53/54 branded Solo SR was put onto the 11C to cover for late running as a result of the cricket at Trent Bridge. 357 is seen on Radcliffe Road with an 11C to Nottingham.

Nottingham City Transport 352 (24.05.2025)

Both of today's dupes put onto the 11 to cover for late running managed to cover the 30 later on too, one intially to replace a failed Yutong E12 spare in the form of 212, but only because one bus failed after the other. Luckily though, I was able to catch up with both of them on the green line route/routes when they were in good working order. 362 is seen on Radcliffe Road with an 11A to Nottingham.

Nottingham City Transport 251 (24.05.2025)
