The bus turning circle at Snape Wood, Bulwell, is unusual in that it does not contain a bus stop. When buses terminated here, they unloaded at a bus stop about 50 metres back along Snape Wood Road, turned in the turning circle and then returned along Snape Wood Road to load at a stop almost opposite their unloading stop. However, buses now serve this area on a circular basis, so buses travel to and from the turning circle in service. This is quite a difficult turning circle in which to photograph buses as it is used for car parking by the residents of the houses adjacent to it.
