Nottingham City Transport 423 (22.02.2026)

Before its late Pathfinder 90 work and after its work on the usual lilac network, the 25 in this case, this lilac bio-gas Scania was to be seen helping out on Bridgford Bus duplicating a 5A and a 6 to cover for late running following the Forest home game. 423 is unusually seen turning into Alford Road with a 5A to Edwalton.

I think this may be a first, a gas bus made an appearance on the 90 late on... albeit mega-late. How it managed to happen I don't know but the 16:20 left Nottingham at 17:45 due to an unknown cause although it being on the route did enable me to catch up with it regardless. 423 is unusually seen on Carrington Street with the return 90 from Fernwood.

Trent Barton 713 (12.02.2026)

After being replaced by the purple MMC of 206 on the Indigo, this Mango Eclipse then went on to replace the green MMC of 117 on the Mainline, hence the requirement of a catch up with the spare. 713 is pictured on Friar Lane ready to do the next Mainline to Bingham.

Trent Barton 725 (12.02.2026)

On the other RV1 today was one of the B7RLE's that are often capable at running the route, hence their often regular appearances in the event of unavailable Solo SR's. 725 in the old red spare livery with Mango branding is seen in Radcliffe with an RV1 to Bingham.

Trent Barton 110 (12.02.2026)

Due to the RV1 branded Solo SR's plus the red spare of 506 all not playing ball today, the RV1 was left in the hands of bigger buses all the way instead as a result. 110 is pictured arriving into Bingham Market Place with an RV1 from Nottingham.

Trent Barton 147 (12.02.2026)

Rather than supplementing the fleet of new Twos, the 20 plate Mango spares have instead ended up at Manvers Street to see use on any one of their routes. 147 is pictured on Upper Parliament Street having brought in a service from Calverton on The Calverton.

Centrebus 511 (11.02.2026)

A rare operator to be seeing in this part of West Bridgford as the 19 currently uses just one bus since the route was reintroduced, originally with a mix of ADL Enviro 200's and also Plaxton Centros before the older buses were withdrawn and now just ADL Enviro 200's. 511, a former Paul S Winson example, is seen on Melton Road with a 19 to Melton Mowbray.
