Nottsbus ECOnnect
Get on board our Nottsbus ECOnnect vehicles
The quieter, smoother, greener way to travel
We are committed to improving air quality, addressing climate change and exploring sustainable transport opportunities. This is why we've introduced electric buses on the 33 route running between Sutton Cum Granby (peak journeys only), Radcliffe and Nottingham. The new Nottsbus ECOnnect 33 will continue to link passengers from the villages south of Bingham with Cotgrave, Tollerton (Gamston Morrisons), West Bridgford and Nottingham. These buses join our existing electric buses that run the 240 routes running between the Berry Hill Lindhurst Development, West Nottinghamshire College and Mansfield Bus Station.
The Nottsbus ECOnnect 33 and 240 (Berry Hill Flyer) bus services provide a vital service for many people who cannot access the commercial bus network, providing access to training, employment, health, shopping and leisure facilities. The 240 (Berry Hill Flyer) service provide convenient connections to other bus and train services at Mansfield Bus Station.
It is hoped the electric buses will encourage residents to use zero emission public transport as an alternative to private cars, and enjoy a quieter, smoother, greener way to travel.
