Nottingham City Transport New Orders For 2011

Optare have confirmed that Nct have ordered 20 Omnidekka's based on the Scania Chassis for delivery in 2011. The new buses will be to the same spec as the recent Turquoise additions and will most likely replace vehicles on GO2 Purple 89 and Lilac 27 Routes.

Welcome

Hello, and welome to the London Bus Team blog. This blog offically started on Sunday 6th February 2011. We thought to put the blog together so that we could share our pictures from garage visits to other bus enthusiasts. Keep checking back for updates, we current have a large back log of pictures to upload so some stuff is a bit old but still of a good quailty

Many Thanks

The London Bus Team

First RV1 E200's Soon To Be Transferred Back

DML44159,YX10BGF Seen On The Covent Garden Stand. These buses will soon be leaving Lea Interchange and returning back to Uxbridge. These buses were on loan to Lea Interchange Depot

Bexleyheath's New Volvo B9TLs Spotted On Route 89

VWL355,LX60DWE Seen At Lewisham Station.
This is an odd working for the 89 as these new buses are meant for the 422
