NCT - Network Changes - January 2009
Nottingham City Transport will be introducing further changes to a small number of City Centre bus stops from Sunday 25th January 2009, to continue easing congestion around the Victoria Centre area. There will also be some minor timetable adjustments to South Notts service 1 to improve reliability, extra stops on Night Bus N77 and a new Saturday service to Boots, Beeston funded by Nottingham City Council.
Service 1 Timetable Change
To improve reliability for passengers, some minor changes will be introduced to the timetable on all days. There are no changes to the frequency of buses and most changes reflect higher traffic levels experienced on the route, particularly along the A453 through Clifton, which has been causing delays and buses to run late.
Mondays to Fridays
· Buses departing Nottingham at 06:20, 06:50 and 07:10 will all depart 5 minutes earlier.
· Buses arriving into Nottingham before 09:00 will be re-timed to allow for higher traffic levels. Most buses will depart earlier.
· 18:15 from Nottingham to Loughborough will depart 5 minutes later.
· Evening journeys are adjusted to depart up to 3 minutes later.
Saturdays
· 18:15 from Nottingham to Loughborough will depart 5 minutes later.
· Evening journeys are adjusted to depart up to 3 minutes later.
Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays
· All buses towards Loughborough will depart Gotham and all subsequent stops up to 3 minutes later.

City Centre Bus Stop Changes
A small number of bus stops will be changing in the City Centre to improve the flow of traffic and minimise congestion on Milton Street. This follows the completion of the bridge strengthening works on Parliament Street in November when stops were changed in this area and has maintained the improved levels of reliability experienced during the bridge works.
