Waiting for a relief

A bus operating on route 1, the old South Notts route from Nottingham to Loughborough, waits for a relief driver opposite Gotham bus garage (out of frame to the left). South Notts was taken over by Nottingham City Transport in around 1991 (I can't recall exactly when), and its blue and cream livery was retained for some years before it was replaced by the current two tone green NCT livery for less frequent services. The navy blue route branding recognises the route's heritage, however, as does the continuation of the South Notts name on this bus.
