City of Nottingham Transport Open Day at Trent Bridge Works – 1986
The impetus behind the open day was to ensure local interest among the public in maintaining locally owned bus services following the removal of bus service licencing under the 1985 Transport Act. As well as the undertaking’s own vehicles (the green and cream buses), vehicles from other organisations were also on display. In the centre is a new articulated bus for South Yorkshire Transport in Sheffield, to the right a preserved pre-war Trent Motor Traction single decker and to the left an articulated tanker from the undertaking’s fuel supplier’s fleet.
The works building was built in 1901 as a combined running shed and repair facility for the city's electric trams. It served subsequently for some time as a bus garage before being re-purposed as the main overhaul facility for the undertaking's bus fleet. It is still (2024) in use as such. The building is Listed Grade II.

Along Pyatt Street
On the left is the huge Trent Bridge Bus Depot, until the 1960s the base and repair shop for a lot of Nottingham City Transport's fleet of trolleybuses. The sun had yet to break through on what proved to be yet another hot, sunny day in July 2018.

Trent Bridge Bus Depot, Bunbury Street
