Skills SN53 EUX
The relatively rare sight of an ALX400 in Nottingham... the type never really gained a stronghold in the city since NCT preferred East Lancs products at the time and Trent/Barton haven't bought new deckers since something like the 80s. A trickle of them appear from the coach operators, like this ex-London United example from Skills, which is one of just two you'd regularly find in the city when employed on the UoN student contract. The ex-Dublin B7TL ones are gaining traction in roles formerly fulfilled by their Olympian predecessors, Dennis ones are about with the likes of Redfern but don't seem to touch the city and DAF ones are pretty much nonexistent round here. Shame they didn't build them on Scania chassis; I'd have liked those!
The UoN shuttle is run by Littles nowadays, who appear to be using some ex-Lothian things. I saw one recently.
