After an eighteen years' gap, through buses between Nottingham and Grantham are a thing again!!
Central Connect have extended their 93 from Grantham to Bingham through to Nottingham, offering a bus at least every 30 minutes now between Nottingham and Bingham on services 90, 92 and 93.
Last ran by Centrebus around 2007 as their X6, buses this time round operate from Nottingham via the 90 route to Bingham (fast via Trent Bridge then the A52), then the normal route to Grantham via Bottesford.
Sadly it seems to be vans at the moment, hopefully the service picks up and goes over to the short wheelbase E200MMCs in due course.
205 sets off from Nottingham with a 93 to Grantham via Trent Bridge, Bingham and Bottesford.
Before the rain arrived…

Ferrybridge C Power Station, Ferrybridge, West Yorkshire
This is Ferrybridge C Power station, a coal fuelled power station in West Yorkshire. I have always wanted to visit this power station, infact any power station as I had never visited one before so when I met up with Mark Hepples last weekend we drove here as I had a few hours before I had to head back South. The conditions were great for the long exposure image I had in mind, the only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of steam coming out of the cooling towers. I suppose we were there on a Sunday and it was after everyone had make their breakfast and also with the weather being that bit warmer and lighter means that people don't have to use as much power. It was almost like it was just ticking over unlike its cousin few miles away, Eggborough power station was pumping out the steam but sadly we didn't have time to visit that one, maybe Eggborough was doing all the work.
I have gone for a very severe crop on this image as I really wanted to emphasise the towers and the sky, really trying to help give the viewer a sense of scale and proportion. In the original I have the River Aire in the lower part of the image and in a future upload I will include this for you. Also one thing I did struggle with in the post production was trying to bring out the detailing on the steam coming out of the cooling towers. You can see it on a couple of the towers but not all, mainly because its blended in with the tones of the sky. I think my next visit will be in Winter when its much cooler and it will be working harder which will give better steam plumes but overall I really like this image.
On a separate note, I decided to get my sensor cleaned at Fixation in Vauxhall, London. I know, most of you will be tutting at me or calling me a wimp for not doing it myself ;-). I just didn't wanted to risk doing it myself on my main camera with the risk of breaking it, I am going to practice first on my old camera.
Hope you all had a great weekend and have a good Monday.

Information
The Ferrybridge power stations refers to a series of three coal-fired power stations situated on the River Aire in West Yorkshire, England. The first station on the site, Ferrybridge A power station, was constructed in the mid-1920s, and was closed as the second station, Ferrybridge B power station, was brought into operation in the 1950s. The A station has been retained since it closed. In the 1960s, Ferrybridge C power station was opened with a generating capacity of 2000 megawatts, which at the time was the largest of any power station in the UK. The B and C stations operated together until the B station's closure in the 1990s. The B station has since been demolished.
Ferrybridge C power station is currently the only power station operating on the site. Since 2004 is operated by SSE plc. It is capable of co-firing biomass and is currently being fitted with Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) plant. There are plans to build a fourth, D station on the site.
On 1 November 1965, three of the cooling towers collapsed due to vibrations in 85 mph winds. Although the structures had been built to withstand higher wind speeds, the design only considered average wind speeds over one minute and neglected shorter gusts. Furthermore, the grouped shape of the cooling towers meant that westerly winds were funnelled into the towers themselves, creating a vortex. Three out of the original eight cooling towers were destroyed and the remaining five were severely damaged. The towers were rebuilt and all eight cooling towers were strengthened to tolerate adverse weather conditions. Following the accident, it was expected that the station would not be opened for some time after the scheduled date. However it was possible to connect one of the remaining towers to the first completed generating set and the station began generating soon after the expected date. The reconstruction of the destroyed towers began in April 1966. The station first fed electricity into the National Grid on 27 February 1966. It was the first 2000 MW power station in Europe.
Having 'connected', the Indigo Connect bus pulls out from its terminus on Nottingham Road, Chilwell on the late afternoon of Tuesday, 23rd June 2009.
Indigo Connect (Formerly, Connect 5), works in conjunction with the main road Indigo bus service that operates between Nottingham and Long Eaton. Using this dedicated Optare Solo bus (No449), the ‘Indigo Connect’ serves the district of Toton, the Tesco Extra supermarket, opposite Chetwynd Barracks.

Due to the Saxondale operations of Central Connect being wound up at the end of January to focus attention on the Essex ops, there were question marks over whether the Grantham to Nottingham service would retain a service, but behind the scenes things were being finalised, and now it's emerged that two separate services will come to fruition.
Firstly an hourly 93A/B service which will run hourly combined between Grantham and Bottesford and secondly the LC9 which will run two hourly between Bottesford and Nottingham via Bingham, three of the six trips will commence at Grantham to provide an infrequent through service.
228 is seen exiting Bottesford on a 93 to Nottingham via Bingham and Trent Bridge.
