The junction of Milton Street and Upper Parliament Street in Nottingham must be one of the most heavily bussed junctions in the country.
So much so that at one time the pollution levels were too high.
This was one of the reasons that ‘Nottingham City Transport’ (NCT) chose to purchase a fleet of gas powered Scania/Alexander buses in an effort to reduce the pollution levels.
With ‘NCT’ having colour based route branding, it leads to a very colourful scene.
The building to the right is Nottingham’s Victoria Shopping Centre. Built largely on the site of the old Nottingham Victoria Railway station which was opened in 1900 by the Great Central and Great Northern Railways.
