Running from Beeston to Long Eaton is route 204, mirroring the 203 out of Beeston and through Attenborough before splitting off to Toton and Long Eaton. Although it is indirect from end to end, the 204 provides a link from houses along its length to a number of local amenities including Attenborough and Long Eaton railway stations, several supermarkets, two retail parks and Beeston/Long Eaton town centres. It runs hourly, Monday to Saturday.

​

The 204 has been considerably extended since its introduction in 2015, first to Beeston town centre and later from Long Eaton Green to Long Eaton station. Passenger journeys are mostly short and stops frequent as people travel between their homes and the shops or station.

​

The current timetable sees the same pair of vehicles interworking between the 203 and 204, which most commonly are the diesel Optare Solos or shorter length Dennis Darts.
