For some years in the 1970s this site - once occupied by Wollaton Colliery - was used for a park and ride scheme to Nottingham city centre. The weekday service operated only in the peaks, set up as part of the city's ill-fated 'zone and collar' traffic management scheme, and was little used, but the all-day Saturday operation, seen here, was popular. The site is now a Co-op superstore.
