78 to be extended to replace the L2 from 1st September with an interim timetable, with full service from 28th September https://www.facebook.com/share/1DMBQXcCkY/

That sounds like the sort of thing that could be solved of the will was there - either by modifying the Thane Road exit, or making whatever changes are needed to allow the buses to run through the campus (amendments were made at the City Hospital site a few years back to allow the new buses to...

The UK's 8th, 10th, and 11th largest cities and the centre of the 9th largest city (Nottingham, Sheffield, Leicester, and Bristol) are all served solely by diesel traction. Completing the electrification of a single railway line (the Midland Mainline) would change that for three of those...

Nottingham City Transports' now retired diesel Optare Solo displays - this from 2018 vs the current Yutongs

Are even more Electric Buses coming for Nottinghamshire City Transport via East Midlands Combined County Authority or is this connected to the recent announcement of 12 new buses ordered at the ALBUM conference? https://www.eastmidlands-cca.gov.uk/news/board-transport-package/

Heading northwards earlier this week on a Meridian had the same thing somewhere between Luton and Bedford - don't recall having that in the past!

That would be very welcomed in Lady Bay (although if the Morrisons bit was lost there would be some disappointment) as the service has been rather unreliable since extended to Cropwell Bishop - I know both of my housemates that used to rely on the bus now walk/ride to work in the city centre as...

Presumably in the long term it would be similar to the 4 - providing more frequency on the busiest section of the route, while also providing better accessibility to the parts of the estate furthest from Fairham way (getting towards a km at the outer edges) 1778825533 25 years has seen a lot of...

Green 11 cut again, that's gone from.every 10 to 12 to 20 and now every 30 minutes. Once the waterside bridge opens it will be quicker to walk to the city centre than wait for the next bus. The 90 being under NCT at least gives another option - NCT expanding out to traditional Trent Barton...

Jaguar managed to increase the urban range of their I-Pace by about 10% a few years back though a series of software updates which maximised efficiency - based on learnings from Formula E. https://sustainabilitymag.com/articles/formula-e-shaping-future-electric-cars Also modern EVs are...

Nottingham has already had it's EV fleet, accidently, disabled after a faulty software update! https://westbridgfordwire.com/software-update-fails-taking-electric-buses-off-the-road-across-nottingham/ No phased rollout seems to be very odd too.

Hopefully this mismatch of synthetic junk is something GBR can sort. My local bus operator, Nottingham City Transport, uses a radio presenter - David Lloyd - for their announcements and the difference in clarity between those announcements (from someone who's livelyhood depended on clear...

Has anyone checked the Lybian desert recently? (One of the Danish IC4s being built by Ansaldobreda (now Hitachi Italy) that went missing ended up being found in the Lybian Desert) https://jyllands-posten.dk/uknews/article4491700.ece

Nottingham City Transport uses radio present David Lloyd to record all there announcement - apparently it took 3 8 hour days to record them all. Nottingham Post: This man tells you where to get off the bus every day - and you've never met him

Actually a good point hidden there - Windows 10.reaches end of life this month meaning security updates, basically, end. Including real-time information and departures at interchanges is going to require internet connectivity of some form (even if it's using a VPN backhaul) - Nottingham City...
