In the run-up to the deregulation of bus services in October 1986, City of Nottingham Transport introduced a series of ‘Accessline’ services using small buses to reach areas that could not be served by full size buses. The idea was that these areas would not be attractive to possible competitors after deregulation and that passengers would be attracted to use these localised services rather than walk to main roads. These services were never economically viable and in most cases, including this route, services were withdrawn soon after deregulation and have not been replaced since.
