Nottingham (Bus), 13-08-2018
A trip into town, and my wife had some shopping to do so I was released with my camera. Main targets were the new Stagecoach Enviro 400MMCs on the Pronto and NCT 676 with it's revised lettering; orange, red and sky blue gas buses were also in the frame. I struck lucky getting one of TrentBarton's Indigo Enviro 200MMCs out on driver familiarisation duties as well!

In its last week before moving to pastures new, 701 picks up with an Indigo for Briar Gate. This route was started by NCT as Fastline 506 after competition between the two operators commenced in 1988, often using the excellent coach seated Leyland Lion double deckers on the route. Barton responded with an identical service, but it was the last gasp before selling out to Wellglade in 1989. I was in the canteen at Broad Marsh when the news of the takeover broke - drivers finding out from the Evening Post, rather than the company. As sad day.
