With much more of a focus on the environment these days, many transport companies are changing their fleets to electric vehicles.
Here in Nottingham is no different, with 24 new electric buses set to be in use by the end of March.

Join us for a trip down memory lane as we take a look at how Nottingham’s buses have changed over the years.
