[Nottingham, UK] 七彩路線巡禮

I can just manage to make out the word 10th year in the Go2 logo.
So I guess Nottingham City Transport must be one of the first companies to introduce route branding.
P.S. I know NCT have some of the earliest Dennis Trident, are they still on the go? |

You're right. NCT seems to be pioneer to test route branding.
Many new bus operators benefited from this marketing strategies. I can see Stagecoach begins to brand their routes in some small cities now.
There are still small numbers of East Lancs Tridents (I guess around 10) surviving in NCT after the introduction of new 61 regs Omnidekkas in December.
You can find them regularly in Brown line 15, Lilac 24 & 25, and Lime 59.
But all the tridents are spare vehicles and I guess they won't stay long.
Last month several tridents were sold (I coincidently found 2 of them in Loughborough)
Surprisingly, I took a T reg. trident (422) last week as I thought it has been sold. But it wasn't far from my guess because all the ads. and notices inside were removed, feel like it is "prepared" to leave the fleet.  |

Thanks for your info.
I'm sure a lot of smaller operators will benefit from having some of the early low floor deckers.
Yes, they may be 10+ years old but at least they are DDA compliant and as cheap as chips.
After a little search on Flickr, I've found some of those ex-NCT Tridents are now with Ensignbus.

And to my surpirse, and slightly off topic, they also have this

Midland of Wednesfield also acquired 2 ex-NCT East Lancs Tridents recently,
becoming the first double deckers of the fleet. |

今次介紹埋NCT 其餘路線系列Unilink - 4 (Nottingham Trent U.) 31, 34 (University of Nottingham) , 4 號最有名的就是scania beni-bus 和3軸scania
Skylink - 連結East-midland Airport (此線將於3月取消, 由trent barton 新線取代)
Citylink 1 & 2 - 連接市郊的Park & ride
Medilink park & ride - 免費來往市內兩所醫院 (車程其實頗長, 住附近的要到醫院返工真係車錢都慳返!), NCT 亦有ALX Trident 行走此線
Collegelink - 來往市中心與附近的Bilborough college, 就是全日服務的校巴...
Pathfinder 100 - 長途路線至Southwell
The One - 長途路線至 Loughborough
Localink - 由市政府資助的路線, 連結市內與周邊市鎮方便居民出入的路線, 路線迂迴、客量亦不多, 但卻為許多老人、沒車的人士提供方便
Worklink - 顧名思義, 就是早晚連結市郊工商業區的路線
Ecolink 30 - 全線使用乙醇引擎巴士, 因節省30% 碳排, 再加上30 途徑市內最大公園, 順理成章成為此線品牌
值得一提的是Localink, 除了睇到悶的solo , 還有benz 的小巴、optare 的mini-van |

哦.. 原來如此 
估唔到9年的變化真係大
我都成5年冇返過拉夫堡了 
係呢, 想請問宜家仲有冇First既巴士踏足Nottingham?
因為我睇番自己收藏既外購相先發現原來Nottingham以前係有巴士直接去Leice ...
果然係BENZ 迷, 張相係大概邊年拍的?
好可惜而家冇First 踏足nottingham .. 而且都冇直接車去leicester ..
其實有, TB 有條Leicester express .. 只係每日朝早一班開去leicester, 然後4點多返回nottingham
Nottingham 同Derby 有非常好既巴士連接...但以南Leicestershire 就差到不得了..焗俾幾磅搭火車...
而家First 最近 nottingham 既地頭...應該要去到Staffordshire , Derby 西南部...
反而Stagecoach 仍有幾條D字頭路線由北面Mansfield, Sheffield 開來
綜觀notts & derby 兩個郡
市內交通各由NCT 與Arriva 佔有
而Trent Barton 就涵蓋整個網絡, 市內短途、市郊路線、城際長途都有做
NCT 其實近年面對越來越大競爭 (機場線都要讓俾TB 做, 連本屬NCT 的Nottingham Tramlink 最近都轉operator .. TB 公司亦持有其股份)
對手TB 無論司機服務與marketing 都做得比較好 , 睇下幾時打得入Arriva 地頭
至於東面佔有Lincolnshire 的Stagecoach, 競爭就無咁大
果邊批車應該係現時Stagecoach 最舊的富豪 .. M reg. 雙層短富豪都見到
Step-entrance 之多相信真係唔憂做  |
