CT4N, formerly known as Nottingham Voluntary Transport and then as Nottingham Community Transport, is a charity and bus operator based in the city of Nottingham, England. The bus operator, CT4N Ltd, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the CT4N Charitable Trust, a registered charity that provides transport solutions to reduce social isolation and promote community cohesion across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.[1]

CT4N operates a number of services in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, including the Medilink bus service that connects the city's two main hospitals, the Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital. They also operate the Easylink door-to-door service for people who may struggle to use the existing bus and tram services in Greater Nottingham.[2][3]

CT4N has its headquarters and an operating base in part of the former Sherwood Tram Depot in Nottingham, originally built for Nottingham Corporation Tramways in 1900. It has additional operating bases at the Queens Drive park and ride site in Nottingham, at the East Midlands Gateway, and at Mansfield Woodhouse.[4]

History[]

The old Sherwood tram depot in use by CT4N

Nottingham Voluntary Transport was founded in 1979, operating four minibuses. In 1982 it started operating the Dial-A-Ride services that would eventually become the Easylink sevice. In 1988 it became a registered charity and changed its name to Nottingham Community Transport. In 1998 it moved to its current base at the old Sherwood tram depot.[4]

In 2003 the first regular bus service was introduced, under the brand Mybus. Two years later four more services were introduced and the Mybus branding was dropped in favour of Locallink. Over the following years more routes were added and in 2013 Optare Solo battery-electric buses were added to the fleet and introduced on a number of routes. The following year, the Medilink service was transferred from the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and a fleet of Optare Versa battery-electric buses introduced to operate it.[4]

In 2017 the new Centrelink and Ecolink park and ride services started operating, using a fleet of 13 BYD battery-electric buses. In 2018 the charity's contracted and commercial bus services were transferred to a new subsidiary company known as CT4N Ltd, and in 2021 Nottingham Community Transport was itself renamed CT4N Charitable Trust. In 2019 the Centrelink and Ecolink services were withdrawn and Locallink services reduced due to budget reductions by Nottingham City Council.[4]
