The traditional City–Strelley section serves areas including Broxtowe, Nuthall Road, Bobbers Mill and Alfreton Road. In September 2026, NCT extended the 78 to serve **Nottingham Business Park and Assarts Farm**, replacing the former Local Link L2 service in that area. The expanded service also provides connections to *Phoenix Park tram stop* and a Monday-to-Saturday daytime shopping link to Bulwell Centre. 🩵 Daytime service frequency From Monday 28 September 2026, the expanded section serving Nottingham Business Park and Assarts Farm operates every 30 minutes during the daytime, Monday to Saturday. Sunday services follow a different pattern, including the 78B City–Strelley service. Not every journey serves every section, so check NCT's official timetable for the exact route and departure. 🚍 The bus featured in this video *Fleet number:* 650 *Registration:* YN65 XFJ *Chassis:* Scania N230UD *Bodywork:* Alexander Dennis Enviro400 *Type:* Double-decker bus *Livery:* Turquoise Line The Scania N230UD provides the chassis and powertrain, while Alexander Dennis supplies the Enviro400 bodywork.

NCT introduced timetable and frequency improvements over the years, and new Scania N230UD ADL Enviro400 double-deckers joined its fleet during the 2015 period. The September 2026 extension to Nottingham Business Park and Assarts Farm was a significant more recent change, adding new links to Phoenix Park and Bulwell. 🎬 About this journey Join me for the full Turquoise Line 78 journey from Nottingham City Centre to Bulwell at normal speed, enjoying the buses, stops, streets and scenery along the way.
