Is it an AI system? Seems very quick how they kickstarted so quickly. Was the writing in the wall. And the 49 hint! Disappointed no destination blind programmed except for the 18 number today. Stops along the route haven’t had the timetables updated. Still displays CT4N services in Chilwell.

Some brilliant points have been made and interesting ideas shared. Personally, my original thoughts and ideas were to renumber the Orange line into 31 (18A) Wollaton, 32 (18) Stapleford, 33 (36) Inham Nook, then 34 Uni and 35 Bulwell. Or, perhaps a revival of Maroon 31/32 (18/18A). Then you’ve...

I’m surprised at you! I’d usually expect a positive comment from yourself regarding a substantial change like this :p Isn't it just the 18A between Beeston and Wollaton that’s subsided plus the Beeston Marina loop? Hence the 18 being kickstarted so quickly?

It was a little bit of the 3 and a lot of the 10 :-) I had the pleasure of a ride on a South notts minibus 310, perhaps 1993 and the absolute bargain of the Sherwood Forester day ticket! those were the days :-) I’m really looking forward to a trip up t’ north tomorrow. Secret fares on Seat...

The 14 was half hourly daytimes only, very short lived, and a replacement for the FastLine 508/34. The 508 was unusual being the only express that ran off peak at that period. Fastline 505 was the peak hours service to Inham Nook. The 34 to Bulwell around the Inham Nook area ran via Pearson...

You might be thinking of the Sand line 11 Trent boulevard and 12 Clifton. Very short lived! Maroon 13 terminated at Beeston and 14 at Inham Nook, both via Broadgate then Castle boulevard again lasted barely a year. At the same time it was an orange 33 via QMC grounds, Queens Road, Wollaton Road...

I and even a 39 once upon a time :-) Just saying, it’ll be a good time for a number rejig. I mean the 18a is almost the original 31

Orange 36 is the original 33. Back In the 90’s it was the 18/32 to Melbourne Road then 18 to Ilkeston and the 32 via Balloon Woods, Strelley Road to Bulwell. Personally NCT should look toward swapping the 32 back from retirement and perhaps retiring the 18 for network cohesion. Is something on...

Maybe I should’ve explained a bit more! Literally within a few minutes of arriving in Nottingham, I was so surprised to see the 11 sporting Pathfinder 90 branding, only for the actual 90 to turn up right after using a spare double-decker. After that, I took the Pronto over to Mansfield on a...

I was in the city centre yesterday, around 10:30 & surprised to see an 11 using a Pathfinder 90! Around the same time a 90 goes past using an unbranded dekka. Quite a lot travelling too. Same situation around 9pm! I honestly can’t remember when I last saw the wrong bus on the wrong route :-/

Reading the news article on the Nctx website…. It was like a déjà vu moment! NCT handing over the Pathfinder Fosseway flyer 90 to Marshalls, around 15 years ago. Full circle, what comes around goes around. Closing the Newark outstation probably caused operational costs and deemed unviable, so I...

Believe it or not, it was NCT who renumbered the route's in the 1990's after purchasing Pathfinder ltd. 91 via A46 & 101 via Southwell (lilac26). Each corridor had various routes. 91,92,93.... 100,101,102,103.... NCT renumbered after splitting the cross city West Bridgeford Arnold 90, so they...

The 231 was the Heanor R1 service, 2ph continuing to Ripley. The 331 was the direct route to Alfreton via Watnall and Moorgreen. The 332 and 333 via Eastwood to Alfreton and became part of Rainbow1 Eventually the 331 became a county council tender, explaining the various operators. Evening...

Certainly the end of an era!

Probably explains why NCT posted this :- https://www.nctx.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Orange36_All_Day_Twitter-1.png https://www.nctx.co.uk/2016/10/our-36-runs-all-day-every-day/
