The East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) is now the transport authority in Nottinghamshire and we will continue to run our fleet services. We will continue to host this information on our website, which includes details on how to get in touch. Find out more on our EMCCA transition page.
CT4N has ceased trading as of Friday 14 August 2026, affecting a number of services in Nottinghamshire. Find out more on this page.
Nottsbus Connect is a network of connecting local bus services, helping to improve public transport links across the county. Nottsbus Connect provides feeder routes from local villages on to the main transport network. These 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.

CT4N bus operator ceases trading
CT4N, a bus operator serving parts of Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, has ceased trading with immediate effect.
The closure will affect a number of bus and demand responsive transport services across the region. As the Local Transport Authority for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) is working closely with local councils, transport partners and bus operators to assess the impact and look at replacement services wherever possible.
Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward is working with partners across the region to help minimise disruption for passengers and secure alternative services as quickly as possible.
Mayor Claire recognises services are important for people travelling to work, school, college, healthcare appointments, shops and other destinations.
The affected services are:
- Services 18, 18A, 18B and 18X: Nottingham City Centre to Stapleford and Wollaton via Beeston and Bramcote
- Service 66: Sutton Bonington to Loughborough
- Service 300: Lowdham to Newark via Southwell
- Service 510: Beeston to Stapleford via Toton and Attenborough
- Service 511: Stapleford Shopper
The 18 service between Nottingham, QMC, Beeston Rylands, Beeston, Bramcote and Stapleford will be replaced by NCT from Monday 17 August 2026. This will be an hourly service for the first two weeks, with the full 18, 18A, 18B and 18X timetable commencing on Tuesday 1 September 2026.
EMCCA is continuing to secure alternative provision for the remaining routes as quickly as possible, and further updates will be shared as arrangements are confirmed.
