West Hallam 1984 56083 is preparing to depart on the dinner-time departure for Toton Yard with loaded HAAs full of opencast coal from the opencast site between Mapperley, Smalley and Heanor. The loaded wagons were shunted after loading under the screens into 2 sidings as a loaded train was too long for one. 56083 has picked up one part-rake and backed onto the other part-rake ready to depart. The empty wagons on the left are on the arrivals siding, unusually still with the lamp in place but I suppose this would be transferred onto the loaded train as it departs. The sleeper crossing and the catch-point at the bottom of the run-round loop are the only things left here to remind you of the railway. The track on the right originally went up to Nutbrook Sidings from where you could go on to Shipley Colliery
The next Blackpool Solo to feature was via gen from a mate saying he saw it on the L11 earlier in the day, so I intercepted it four hours later.
YJ09OTK is pictured pulling away from the Top Valley Tesco stop with a Locallink L11 to Arnold via Bestwood Park. This stretch of the L11 is soon to cease, being superseded by the S11, which will be running between Bulwell and Mapperley via Arnold.
After doing the 24 all afternoon, the bus wasn't swapped and also did some peak time 25s!!

An interesting one to emerge on the 46/47 today, one of the six cylinder examples covered one of the four pots....
398 waits time at Spring Lane End on Mapperley Plains with a 47 to Nottingham via Mapperley and Woodborough Road.
Due to snow NCT had many diversions in place, including the 45, which was terminating at Mapperley Shops, and then headed empty along Mapperley Plains to the Catfoot Lane roundabout to turn around.
Seen heading towards Mapperley Shops to start a 45 to Nottingham.
Nottingham City Transport 428 in Gedling on Sky Blue 45 from City via Mapperley. 26th September 2018.
Two days on the bounce, another stretched single turns up on Sky Blues!!
390 is today's offerings, pictured leaving Upper Parliament Street with a 46 to Lambley via Mapperley, Mapperley Plains and Woodborough whilst 633 rests ahead of doing a round trip to Arnold and back on the 56.
This evening on the Lilac services sees an almost full allocation of Enviros, what with an E200 in use on the 25B and one of the two evening boards on the 27 using an E400!!

Whilst I waited for The Calverton to turn up, a winner on the 25 came past first.
424 sets off from Arnold with a 25 to Nottingham via Mapperley, Gedling and Carlton.
Mapperley, Nottingham 2013
I hope everybody is well, I thought I'd just better pop in and update my 52 Week project – still having a good look at Ipernity, it's much quieter than Flickr but has a much nicer design.

Glimmers of Spring are emerging, with the dull leafless trees and hedges starting to show some colour again!!
439 passes Lambley Avenue on Westdale Lane in Gedling with a 45 from Nottingham, St. Ann's and Mapperley, the blossom just starting to bloom on the trees alongside the bus.
In the last week of operation, the through service from Beeston to Arnold is to be severed in Bulwell, with the L10/L11 circuit running on three buses, whilst a new S11 will run from Bulwell to Mapperley via Top Valley and Arnold.
930 is pictured exiting Burnside Green in Bilborough with an L11 to Arnold via Aspley, Bulwell and Top Valley.
The second and slightly modified variation of the 47 ran the same way as previously as far as Calverton St. Wilfrid's Square, but then continued along Collyer Road and Flatt's Lane, where the bus joined Oxton Road, and made a diversion into Oxton village, before heading out again via Blind Lane and Southwell Road to rejoin the A6097, running into Lowdham the same way as previous via Epperstone on a two hourly basis Monday to Saturday daytimes.
As of the end of August 2016, the service has been curtailed to operate between Nottingham and Woodborough only. This has been done to save the Council subsidising the route when they needed to make cutbacks in the sector.
As a result, Nottinghamshire County Council now run between Oxton, Calverton, Woodborough, Epperstone and Lowdham hourly during the off peak hours with one of their dedicated dial-a-ride spec midibuses with route number 747.
386 is seen in the remote village of Oxton passing the village church in a very heavy downpour with a 47 to Nottingham via Calverton, Woodborough and Mapperley. The cars outside the church belong to the bellringers who were playing at the time.
My first taste of a 19 plate on the 25, as illustrated here having just set from Front Street...
465 approaches the High Street Asda stop with a 25 to Nottingham via Mapperley, Gedling and Carlton.
As luck would have it, this was also required after catching up with 476 in Gedling, so made my way over to Westdale Lane for this.
427 starts it's climb up Westdale Lane to Mapperley on a 25B.
Looking up towards Mapperley Plains. Taken from the footpath running from Woodborough Lane (B684) to Woodborough Villiage. The sun was setting and was just below the top of the hill.
To start service at Mapperley Shops in a morning, buses use Woodborough Road as a positioning move to get there as quickly as possible.
422 rumbles along Woodborough Road on the edge of St. Ann's out of service, seen passing 994 on a 45 to Nottingham, a route which will soon be on biogas Scanias itself!!

440 turns on to Woodborough Road as it heads out the city to commence its run out to Mapperley and Gedling
Photo opportunities like this are the very reason the camera now lives in my bag!!
YJ16DZO is one the newest buses in use with CT4N, seen in the old livery of Webberbus exiting Queen Street in Nottingham with a Locallink L9 to Bestwood Park via Mapperley, Sherwood and Arnold.
924 departs City, Queen Street on Sky Blue Line 45 to Gedling, Wollaton Avenue via Woodborough Road and Mapperley, as advertised!
The 45 very rarely sees a spare during regular daytime operations so seeing a special, wrap-around livery was something far out of the ordinary.
924 was originally branded to serve Sherwood, Edwards Lane, Bestwood and Rise Park on Purple Line 89 before the route was taken over by branded Biogas Scanias.
Nottingham City Transport Scania N230UD ADL Enviro 400 638 (YN14MVL) is pictured on Waldrem Road w9rking on Sky Blue Line 60 from Queen Street via Woodborough Road and Mapperley Shops
CT4Ns network saw a bit of a shake up this weekend, seeing the Centrelink, Locallink L3, L6, L7, Shopper S43 and Worklink W2 all go, with some other routes amalgamated to cover the ones going. New Shopper services have been launched too, including the S11 which replaces the L11 between Bulwell and Arnold, but with an extension through to Mapperley via the Plains Estate!!
933 is seen on the first day of Shopper S11, pictured passing Trueman Gardens in Plains Estate with an S11 to Mapperley via Mapperley Plains.
Another shot from my early morning outing with Paul, the mist on the lake wasn't quite what we'd hoped for but can't complain at the frost.
Critique always wlecomed.
Photomatix and Photoshop used to try and keep this realistic.
Quick outline of method: Created two differently tone mapped images in Photomatix using -2,0 and +2EV shots, one using Fusion Adjust and the other using Details Enhancement. I then blended thse in photoshop, adjusting for levels and adding sharpness. I hope this process has kept the realism on the right side.
In recent weeks, this particular Enviro 200 has been making itself at home on Sky Blue services, the shape of things to come perhaps??
376 sets down at Chedington Avenue in Mapperley Plains under rather threatening skies with the last 47A of the day to Lowdham via Lambley, Woodborough and Calverton.

08814 awaiting its next move at West Hallam Disposal Point, Mapperley, Langley Mill, Derbyshire. 18th September 1985.
Whilst travelling back into Nottingham from Gedling, NMC's sole bus service was heading the opposite way.
The N73 operates hourly between Mapperley, Carlton Valley, Carlton and Netherfield using one of a number of short-wheelbase ALX200 Darts which originated with Stagecoach London.
Y348FJN is seen on Westdale Lane with an N73 to Victoria Park Morrison's via Carlton and Netherfield.
Due to remembrance service at Mapperley Shops, the 60/1 were diverted via Mapperley Rise, Winchester Street, Mansfield Road, Thackeray's Lane, Arno Vale Road, Somersby Road and Plains Road.
662 was seen on Winchester Street whilst on the 60 towards Gedling.
One which I photographed and had a ride on was the N27 from Nottingham to Mapperley.
The route is a massive amalgamation of the following daytime routes, in order of coverage by the N27: 43, 27, 24/25 and 45. Starting off here, the service runs like the 43 as far as Cardale Road, where it then turns onto - making it the one and only bus route to use Cardale Road. At the end of that, it's on to Carlton Hill, and the route of the 27 until Cavendish Road - at which point it's a case of following the 24/25 routes to Shelford Road/Digby Avenue. There, it's up to Wollaton Avenue turning circle, and onto the route of the 45, terminating on Woodborough Road, at Shelton Street.
Seen here on Burton Street, taking a rest between runs, is 919 (YT61GPY) - by pure coincidence, the same vehicle I had last time!
A lucky grab, this was actually five minutes in front of my 27, but due to the volume of traffic it got caught in, which in turn led to more people catching the service, we overtook it at Carlton Shops, handy when I needed a snap of this one!!
418 approaches Carlton Tesco with a 25 to Arnold via Gedling, Mapperley and Daybrook.

To ease overcrowding on the St. Ann's services at school time in the morning, an extra bus is slotted in on the 40B, which is provided by a Sky Blue Line Slimline Solo, which works in on a 47 from Calverton to Nottingham Upper Parliament Street, then runs out of service down the street to Victoria Centre, where it takes up the 40B to St. Ann's Well's Road Top, where it then runs out of service to Mapperley Shops to spend the day on the 46 between Arnold and Nottingham.
144 takes up the school extra 40B to St. Ann's in Nottingham on Upper Parliament Street.
After a long reprieve, it's quite nice to see OmniDekkas once again crawling up Woodborough Road. As much as the drivers haven't enjoyed them on there for the last couple of weeks, it's been nice to see the 61 plates somewhere a bit different to the usual Cliftons they've been used on since 2019.
927 gets near the top of the long slog on Woodborough Road from Nottingham on a 60 to Chase Farm via Mapperley and Gedling.
47739 passes Rectory Junction in full sun whilst threatening skies loom over Nottingham in the background. 6E07 the 11.51 Washwood Heath - Boston Docks empty steel working is seen passing Rectory Junction box at 14.23 on Thursday 16th August 2012.
The train is travelling on the Nottingham to Grantham line and the section of track from Netherfield Junction to here was once the western edge of Colwick yard. The two lines furthest right are the access to the oil terminal but previously these lines were two of those that headed from this point to Gedling and North through Mapperley tunnel, they bounded the East side of the massive Colwick Yard. Up to the mid 60's the space in-between the two pairs of lines was nothing but railway as far as the eye could see.
Here's a photo taken from the opposite side of the tracks from Rectory box.
www.flickr.com/photos/fireman_fotter/5310197421/
The line to Netherfield Junction is on the left and the train is coming off the yard and is on the lines now used for the oil terminal, it will shortly pass the box and head off over the Trent and South towards Grantham and possibly the ECML. The signal to the left of the buffer beam places the train as that is number 3 home signal as was complete with fireman's call plunger sign on the post. That was replaced over time by the much shorter current number 55 signal which stands in almost the same spot. Number 55 signal can be seen in my photo just poking above the third and fourth wagons. (the signal arm obscured by the backboard that virtually all new signals seem to have these days).
Whilst the 56 is diverting non-stop via Mapperley Shops, it made sense to head up there on a Sunday afternoon when there's not as much traffic, even less today as a lot of people were watching Forest at Wembley....
537 is pictured off route at Mapperley Shops with a 56 to Nottingham via Sherwood.
European Robin / erithacus rubecula. Mapperley Wood, Derbyshire. 21/11/15.
Taking centre stage, one very dapper Robin!
Not one of 'my' Robins from the private site I use, but one in a local wood. Interestingly, much more wary, so I was pleased when it eventually posed so nicely.
The blurred branches in the background remind me of spotlights focussing on and around the bird! Would love to know what others think.
The route out of Nottingham on the 45 is surprisingly hilly, Woodborough Road climbing at various points up to Mapperley from Nottingham.
434 makes light work of one of the many gradients on Woodborough Road with a 45 to Gedling via Mapperley.
From time to time, it's possible to see lilac biogas deckers on Mansfield Road, to get to/from Arnold fast.
419 hurries through Sherwood out of service to take up the next 25 from Arnold to Nottingham via Mapperley, Gedling and Carlton.
The frequency on the 45 has once again been boosted back to every 7/8 minutes from every 10 minutes during Monday to Saturday daytimes, meaning it's even more convenient to just turn up and go at any stop on the route with no real need to check the timetable!!
440 exits Nottingham at Shelton Street on Woodborough Road with a 45 to Gedling via Mapperley.
