    Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire Bus News

    L1 is still running only proposed for withdrawal. City Council don't usually label stops with variant letters - ie the 79 & 79A just appear as 79 across the whole shared route. 79A appears ONLY where the 79 doesn't run, so I wouldn't expect to see 1A, 1E etc at Wilford Green.

    The 2 lasted quite a while after the tram started. When NCT took over the Barton Ruddington 14/54 they numbered it 3. Eventually they could'n't make both the 2 & 3 pay and combined them into one route. There are a LOT of stops in the County with wrong numbers up. The bus stop on Bilborough Road...

    New government bus funding

    Sounds like a reintroduction of the Rural Bus Grant(RBG) - but on an extended basis. And how many of the new RBG routes/journeys lasted beyond the end of funding - I know in Nottinghamshire one service went from 3 buses per day to hourly with evening buses. When funding ended it became a one...

    The S20 & S21 Tesco Top Valley still? operate (by Silverdale??)- possible these are funded by Tesco - they certainly were when the store opened in the early 1980s. The Nottingham Coach Company operate the S2/3/4 into Gamston Morrisons from rural areas that used to be part of the original S1...

    What happened to route 000 for not in service?

    My local service is Trentbartons 'Rainbow One'. At some point the '1' disappeared from the number screen to be replaced with an 'O'(of varying colours) for 'One' - not that far out from a 0 - zero!

    Hulley's of Baslow

    These sort of loadings reflect the Stagecoach X1 Nottingham to Chesterfield. That started in October 2019. Most of the buses seemed to be carrying low single figures - just one or two exceptions. It stopped running with lockdown in March. I think it could have worked - especially over a normal...

    And not just dwell times caused by mango app users - but also by those of us who are now paying cash - and I must admit my usage of buses has dropped tremendously with the disappearance of the mango card - to the extent that I walked the 5.5 miles to work yesterday in 80minutes - can take...

    Apologies, you are quite right. I think we are all loosing track of just what is and isn't running anymore. But Monyash has had a Sunday bus service until last weekend - it is a timing point on Hulleys Summer extension of the X71! So the village saw it's last service bus pass through last Sunday...

    It says clearly on the traveline south west site on the 171 timetable page that the 171 will NOT now start on the 26th October. As the number 171 was not in use presumably this was a change to be made prior to the revisions being made to the 178/9 Youlgreave services. As Youlgreave will revert...

    Trivia: Large housing estates underserved by buses

    Living in Nuthall, we are fine if you live on the main Rainbow One route. Otherwise it's a walk. The demise of Trents Old 331(Watnall Road) & 357(Larkfield & High Spania) left more areas remote from bus services. Part of the problem in Kimberley & Watnall imparticular are the narrow roads and...

    Amazed to see that Trenbarton are still selling physical Mango cards - despite them finishing next month - and it appears selling them without making users aware they aren't valid on the Rainbow One!! Centrebus restored the full timetable on route 19 from today with the addition of the missing...
