More buses to return after operator ceased trading

More bus routes are set to be brought back into service after an operator ceased trading and made the majority of staff redundant.

Community Transport for Nottingham (CT4N), which had run more than 20 routes, said on 14 August that steps were being taken to place the firm formally into administration.

It has now been confirmed that Littles Travel will take on the firm's 29 service between Long Eaton and Sandiacre, the 510 serving Beeston, Toton, Attenborough and Stapleford, and the 511 circular Stapleford service.

It comes after the 18 between Stapleford and Nottingham was taken on by Nottingham City Transport and Kinchbus agreed to take over the 66 between Sutton Bonington and Loughborough.

Announcing the update, the East Midlands Mayor's office said all the returning services would be in operation from Monday.

All other CT4N bus routes are being reviewed to see if replacement services can be brought in, the mayor's office added.
