How many buses can NX commit to these Rail Replacements services. From tomorrow normal service resumes so I'm thinking not as many buses will be available

Other operators such as Igo and Central Buses are joining in.

Some buses are running on special timetables such as WN 1 etc might create extra spares

It just means that school journeys and a couple of journeys here and there are not running, nothing major.

I was hoping it might be able to, but tomorrow is certainly looking unlikely

Some more sightings from today:

4651, 4229, 4935, 4226, 4882, 4274, 6118, 4928, 4545, 4260, 4588, 4303, 4525.

All seen around The Ringway/Bristol St/The Horsefair/Holloway Head. Quite a few seemed to be using Bristol St rather than Holloway Head coming into town due to the traffic.
