141 Nottingham–Sutton-in-Ashfield

Route 141 is a bus route that operates between Nottingham and Sutton-in-Ashfield. ^[1]

In early July 2022, Trentbarton announced that it would stop running route 141 in September of that same year. ^[2] However, later in the month it was announced that Nottinghamshire County Council would subsidise the service for a year and would tender the route with local bus operators. ^[3] On 18 August 2022, it was announced that Stagecoach would take over the route on 5 September. ^{[4] [5]}

The service operates hourly between the city, towns and villages of Nottingham, Bestwood Village, Hucknall, Linby, Papplewick, Ravenshead, Blidworth, Mansfield, Skegby, Stanton Hill and Sutton-in-Ashfield. ^[6] It formerly continued to Clay Cross, also serving the North East Derbyshire villages of Morton and Pilsley. ^{[7] [8]}

The route was extended in February 2024 to serve the newly-constructed Oak House in Linby, the headquarters of Nottinghamshire County Council. ^[9]
