Every 10 mins

Every 10 mins you can catch a Scania Nottingham City Transport Bus

A streetie from Nottingham city centre outside the Victoria Centre on Upper Parliament Street.

I did a vibrant coulour version of this but the range of colours (lilac bus, yellow indicators, purple winter coat, red trolley bag) all clashed too much and competed for your eye . Oh and yes we do have lilac buses and lime ones and orange ones and pink ones. The front of our buses are colour coded to indicate which line / route they cover (they also have a number too)

Anyway , I did a monochrome conversion using rawtherapee and an Ilford Delta 100 film emulation

Hope you like this little bit of Nottingham life

Good shot Phil.

It all sounds very organised & a nice regular bus service....why would you need a car? I understand what you mean about the colours being too much, you can see detail such as the pony tail nicely here. The older lady is very trendy with pretty hat & shopper!

like I do
like the idea of colour coded buses too - means you don't need to run unnecessarily if it isn't your bus hahahahaha

@annied well annie, buses of certain colours tend to depart from a a given set of bus stops, so to us locals we don't notice the colour , we go by numbers :)

Caught the sense of anticipation well in this. Nice one.

If only you could persuade the bus company to make a rainbow line of buses back at the depot so you could take a piccy of them! :-D
