All i know is that the new order will be coaches as from they say " The customers expect" so maybe with these interdecks coming and if they prove themselves that might be the new order or something with that style anyway

Yea ive heard 2026 being spread around and tbh Tb were warned when they brought this current batch of Plxtons ( From plaxton i was told) that they wont last on the short route and well....

471 has replaced the role 499 used to do between the two companies but will spend more time working for N+D than us but i can see us needing it from time to time. Yes 73 is gonna be coming back to use for a short period until a new batch of coaches are orderd and have arrived. Plus being painted...

Kinch is struggling quite badly from what is seen, even though out of that 29 they won't get many to help them out. We don't know what the split is between the depots as that is being kept quiet for some reason. All we hope as is as drivers we get enough so we can get out of the position we are...

Yes - not 75. I got the wrong one and meant 74. But it does look like the owners have been looking at 2 second hand coaches in Scotland and may have purchased them. There are as well (can't remember if mentioned) 29 new ADLs on order for this year that will be split between Derby LM and Kinch.

There is a plan if plan A dosent work that we will end up with 73 and 75 back but at the moment both of those are very broken.

Yea it did one comet (only from Alfreton) and then spent most of the day on the Allestree. That didn't end well as it seemed like the brakes decided it like being parked outside the council house and seized on, so it sat there until about 9pm. I saw the wrecker pulling up to it as I went past to...

In off peak its still quite busy so 10 mins freuqency all day stops with the headache of getting busses out the depot etc and makes the dutys alot easier to make. We need 9 to run the full ervice and with other stuff dying the red arrow does take a step back compared to other routes

From what I was told today at work this is becoming more likely as 741 has now appeared at Broadmarsh depot and has not gone to Langley Mill as was stated to us previously. I can't say if 744 and 739 are both going to Skylink as that isn't my depot. 741 was a lovely bus to drive. I drove her...

827 is to replace 481 and two other versa are due when they are to replace 480 and 483. and 741 is at LM to be repainted at the ESU. And after a lengthy conversation with quite a few people 741 has gone as we have got the required 9 spare buses 4 B7s (712,715,716 & 717) 2 11m versas (846 & 847)...

482 has been out of service for a while now as its needs a new engine and has been robbed of panels and parts. 462 from what I heard needs a new air tank and they aren't willing to foot the bill this time after it having had a reconditioned gearbox recently, and it constantly breaking down.

So as its now mid April i havent heard anything really new. Theres only been 1 745 delivery so far(i think there was meant to be 2 or 3 by now iirc). And from reading the 12 pages. Im really thinking this is the big down hill slope.
