50 bus

Good news as the 50 service sees extended hours and new buses

Nottingham City Transport’s (NCT) Red Line 50 bus service will run later into the evenings and seven days a week thanks to the Bus Service Improvement Plan – just in time for Christmas shopping and Winter Wonderland.

Nottingham City Council has secured funding as part of the Government’s Bus Service Improvement Plan to support bus services that support communities on routes that are not commercially viable.

The 50, which currently runs from Victoria Retail Park to the city through Colwick Industrial Estate and along Daleside Road, will continue running later into the evening and run seven days a week with a new Sunday service from 3 December.

road safety week

As Road Safety Week takes place 20 - November  with a focus on speeding, a reminder of the impact of speeding. [ [link removed] ]

1 in 4 fatal crashes involve speeding and speeding related deaths are up 20% in the last year.

It's never worth risking lives to get somewhere a little faster - always stick to the speed limit or below if the conditions warrant it.
