This turning circle was used initially by trolleybuses, and later by motorbuses, as the terminus of the Colwick Road route, which continued across Nottingham city centre to Bulwell Hall (with alternate journeys diverted to serve Rise Park when that estate was constructed). For many years now, the route serving Colwick Road has continued to Gedling via Netherfield, but this turning circle still sees use when the level crossing just out of frame to the right is closed and a shuttle bus is run to serve Colwick Road. Colwick Woods nature reserve provides the backdrop.
