Hi, I've recently been offered a job near lace street, Nottingham, however it's shifts and sometimes can finish as late as 0230. I live in Sneinton, but to get to this part of nottingham I'd be looking at Trent Barton or Yourbus. The service from Sneinton is operated by Nottingham City Transport, which goes to the city centre.
I initially thought the kangaroo ticket was right but apparently not valid between midnight and 4am on Trent Barton.
I'm willing to walk from the city centre to sneinton after work (there's not really much other option) but would like to use the bus as much as possible.
It's likely to change from week to week as to whether I finish late late so maybe better altering my ticketing arrangements around this and buying weekly as opposed monthly direct debit. Though I'd have to see the rota to know how often such late finishes are likely to occur (induction is next week)

Any suggestions?

Upto 2007 Nottingham City Transport ran a Network of Night Services that ran 7 days a week every hour. I was a Regular on one of the Routes. They were poorly used , Average of 8 passengers per trip and that was Mostly Nct Staff, Royal Mail staff going to Beeston and Young lads going out from Broxtowe Estate to rob Cars in Beeston:lol:

You're best getting Either a Trent Barton Saver or Mango until the new Multi Operator ticket comes into use.

Just to update, with my shift pattern for the week, Kangaroo works out best as I clock off at 2230.

Get yourself a cheap push bike and you can commute along the canal towpath from the BBC to Lace Street. Much quicker than a bus and a walk.

There's probably a few in the Trent that could do with being fished out.
