Nottingham had a history of taking former Scania demonstrators and N113CRB, 761 was no exception.
It had been new as an unregistered demonstrator and was acquired by the undertaking when nearly new and with very little mileage on the clock.
From June 2015 the Nottingham Coaches 17 became the ‘Link 17’ circular service, running from Long Eaton, through Toton, Stapleford and Sandiacre back into Long Eaton. A timetable and map for this version of the route are also still available online (see link below), which show that the service now had 17A and 17C variants; one running the loop in each direction. Each loop ran half hourly with a single bus going round, and were timed to depart Long Eaton at 15 minute intervals.
The main thing I don’t know about the circular 17 was when that version of the route got withdrawn; I only ever saw it once. My best guess is that it disappeared sometime between late 2015 and mid 2016, although one interesting aspect is that for its first couple of months it would have served Toton Lane before the trams were running. The web page states that they were looking to expand the route to serve more areas, but as far as I know that never happened.
X232 FBB is seen here at the top of Stapleford Lane in Toton, just a little way down the road from the Toton Lane tram stop, demonstrating the Link 17 route branding alongside its not-quite-removed GNE logos. Although the timetable shows routes 17A and 17C for anticlockwise/clockwise, the letter prefix doesn’t appear on the destination blind. Going in the direction it is, this would be a 17A.

Nottingham, Queens Cinema. Opened as the Midland Electric Bioscope in 1909, renamed Midland Electric Theatre December 1911 and closed in June 1935. Reopened the following year as the Queen’s Cinema and finally closed suddenly on Tuesday 4th January 1955, with the rest of the week’s run cancelled. The auditorium was used as a car showroom and the foyer became a retail unit. Both of these have been closed for some time. The entrance (latterly Ricochet) and foyer appear to predate the cinema auditorium and are possibly part of the Queens Hotel designed by AN Bromley in 1905.

In the late 70's I was given a handful of slides by a friend. I am sure he won't mind me displaying them here.

As Nottingham's shops continue to close at an alarming rate, the face of the streets is changing dramatically, not always for the better. At least, on Bridlesmith Gate, they are trying to brighten things up a bit. Snapped with the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G phone cam and pushed, pulled and twisted about, way beyond the realms of common decency!

Nottingham, Railway Station. Built by the Midland Railway in 1848 and rebuilt in 1904 to the design of Albert Edward Lambert, with much of the current building dating from that later date. Grade 2* listed and currently run by East Midlands Railway, with addition services from Cross Country and Northern Trains. Despite being a through station, many trains terminate here. It was restored in 2011-14 (Building Design Partnership) and suffered a fire in 2018, the area has since been restored again. The number of passengers has plummeted due to the Coronavirus restrictions.

Torrential rain coincided with my visit to Nottingham Coaches this afternoon, 7th October, 2022. GX54 DWD is an ex Stagecoach South Dennis Dart SLF Plaxton Pointer whilst BX05 UVD is a former Redwing Setra S315GT-HD.
Nottingham City Transport bought two small batches of the underfloor-engined Leyland Lion double-decker during its brief production, taking ten examples of the 32 supplied to British customers. From the second tranche, East Lancs-bodied 389 (F389KVO) is seen entering Old Market Place, passing the characterful Bell Inn - a place of frequent pilgrimage in my Nottingham visits. These were the final buses delivered to Nottingham’s own bodywork specification: subsequent vehicle orders were to off-the-peg designs.
One must rue the near-stillborn nature of the Leyland Lion. It had the potential to be a market contender, gaining a niche as did its direct competitor, the Volvo B10M Citybus. Leyland Bus fell victim to two factors, however: firstly, the impact of the 1985 Transport Act all but stifled the market for new full-size vehicles, a result of the big bus market being flooded by nearly-new vehicles made redundant as the old Passenger Transport Executives were forced to contract. Secondly, Leyland Bus was chronically under-capitalised after it had been bought by its management in the break-up of the British Leyland empire. In such dire circumstances, Leyland Bus fell into the hands of Volvo, which wasted no time in whittling down the Leyland model range.
