Here I present a selection of my photographs of delivery vans which, are nearly all brand-new third-generation Mercedes-Benz Sprinters! It shouldn't be hard to find the odd one (yes, one) out. Most of the major supermarkets and parcel couriers seem to have fallen for the third-generation Sprinters, and as a result, with new commercial vehicles entering service due to the online shopping explosion that has been caused by the pandemic. A Sainsbury's delivery van leaves Alan Moss Road and enters a roundabout. A Tesco delivery van on Deane Street, about to turn onto Alan Moss Road. An Amazon Prime electric van on Thorpe Acre Road. Amazon ordered 1,800 of these electric vans; the only way you know they're electric is because they say so! Another Prime van, this time on Ashby Road. Another Tesco van, also on Ashby Road. A Morrisons van on Alan Moss Road. Another Morrisons van, this time on Maxwell Drive. So now you see the the odd one out, a sixth-generation Iveco Daily, an older...

A Boeing 747 freighter in Cargolux livery. This plane was photographed from Ashby Road, probably flying from East Midlands Airport, on the 4th of March 2021.

 A while back I observed that part of an information sign for the Alan Moss Road roundabout went missing. In late July 2019 I visited the allotments at Forest Road (adjacent to Epinal Way.) By chance I found the missing part of the sign on one of the allotments! (The missing section of the sign near the Alan Moss Road roundabout has since been replaced.) Picture taken 21/07/2019

 These photos were taken prior to the opening of Phase 2 of the Nottingham Express Transit tramway. An unidentified Alstom Citadis tram at the Nottingham Railway Station tram stop on the then-new Karlsruhe Friendship Bridge. Bombardier Incentro trams 203 William 'Bendigo' Thompson  and 208 Dinah Minton  wait at the Station Street tram stop. After the new Nottingham Railway Station tram stop on the Karlsruhe Friendship Bridge opened, the Station Street tram stop closed, with the infrastructure used as an access for the new tram stop. Karlsruhe Friendship Bridge. On it is the Nottingham Railway Station tram stop. It straddles the platforms of Nottingham railway station, and had to be moved into place in one piece over the live station. An escalator inside Nottingham railway station connecting the railway station to the new tram stop. Nottingham railway station. East Midlands Trains' HST Class 43 43047 and an unidentified CrossCountry Class 170 Turbostar wait at the station....

On Hermitage Road is a road name sign where the legs are leaning rather distinctly, while the sign itself is relatively level.

 190 Ashby Road was demolished over March to make way for an extension to the Abbeyfield Care Home on Westfield Drive containing a dementia care facility.

This is Claudia Parsons Hall, the newest halls of residence at Loughborough University. It was opened on the 19th of June 2019 and has 480 bedrooms. It is named after Loughborough University alumna Claudia Parsons, who studied at the university between 1919 and 1922 and was one of three women in her year to graduate with a degree in automotive engineering. She went on to be the first woman to circumnavigate the globe by car. Also on the site is the Elite Athlete Centre and Hotel, which opened in November 2018. I had wanted to pay a visit for some time and in late February 2021 I got my chance to walk around the site. It is a place that as of yet has never been seen by a Google Street View car or trekker (as are quite a few newer places in Loughborough) and with not a lot of photographs circulating on the internet either. Enjoy! Pedal-powered electricity generators. I think it's supposed to help power one of the buildings, but it might have been more interesting to use it to charge ...
