What happened to Kinchbus 157? Bustimes suggests it hasn't run since last November.
Quite possibly accident damaged, skylink does seem to suffer from a fair few accidents.What happened to Kinchbus 157? Bustimes suggests it hasn't run since last November.
Indeed Enviro Nottingham 127 is not long back after the RTA that had, on a Coalville I thinkQuite possibly accident damaged, skylink does seem to suffer from a fair few accidents.
Some E200s from Taf Valley coaches are expected to join the wellglade fleet around Easter.
And these'll end up at N&D and TM, so won't really help with Trent's vehicle shortage.On the latest news for trentbarton on the Derby Bus Depot. Hopefully this is to help with the vehicle shortage.
I expect Notts and Derby will look after sister Trentbarton, and let them have 73 and 74.And these'll end up at N&D and TM, so won't really help with Trent's vehicle shortage.
And maybe the Unibus MMCs I suppose.I expect Notts and Derby will look after sister Trentbarton, and let them have 73 and 74.
Something like 15 to 17 might work on Red Arrow. At one point I think only one coach was on Red Arrow, later back to 3. But at a point this afternoon, just 3 buses on Mickleover (PVR 6)And maybe the Unibus MMCs I suppose.
Odd about Taf Valley. They don't have that many Enviro 200s. One has just been sold to Howard's. Thought some had only just been painted red and black. I was actually expecting some to appear from elsewhere, up NorthOn the latest news for trentbarton on the Derby Bus Depot. Hopefully this is to help with the vehicle shortage.
Is this referring to Transdev? That would make sense as they have similar 'standards' to Trent.Odd about Taf Valley. They don't have that many Enviro 200s. One has just been sold to Howard's.

Now one might think that possible, given ex NCT Enviro 200s might well be released through the forthcoming franchising affecting ex Rosso routes.Is this referring to Transdev? That would make sense as they have similar 'standards' to Trent.
731 new to Eazibus. 732-6 new to First London as DML44134/5/44/5/8 seated B29D, to Metroline in 2013 and renumbered DE1788/9/98/9/812; Converted to B36F. To Rosso in
2019. To be sold after cessation of Rochdale operation
737 new to Jim Stones, Leigh registered BU52LEE; to Helms, Eastham No. 117 reregistered WX09TGU; to South Wales Transport, Morriston; to Blazefield in 2020. To be sold after

Yes, it happened on Ashby Road West in Shepshed. Rather too many accidents along the A512, mind you...Indeed Enviro Nottingham 127 is not long back after the RTA that had, on a Coalville I think
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.I expect Notts and Derby will look after sister Trentbarton, and let them have 73 and 74.
Uni type contracts typically have vehicle specifications so it’s unlikely any of those could transfer to Trent unless similar aged or newer replacements were obtained.And maybe the Unibus MMCs I suppose.
Not franchising - that will come later - but on retendering to (I believe) First.Taf Valley Coaches have lost many routes, presumably to franchising, so therefore they won't be needing all their E200s anymore!

I really hope 75 is not sat there broken. That was the TB one that made the news after a meltdown on the A52.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.
That seems so, so unlikely. I mean, why would VOSA even suddenly appear on the Really Good Bus Company 's doorstep? All the buses are always in tip top condition.499 was pulled by VOSA this week on the swift, it has been used in service for 10 days without a valid MOT... it really is about time VOSA & the traffic commissioner did something about trentbartons engineering
What's it mean if a vehicle is pulled by vosa?499 was pulled by VOSA this week on the swift, it has been used in service for 10 days without a valid MOT... it really is about time VOSA & the traffic commissioner did something about trentbartons engineering
Prohibited from movement, taken off the road, I would have thought.What's it mean if a vehicle is pulled by vosa?
Ahh thanks, fairly sure I saw it earlier moving in the depot, although it might of been 506 since that went into service not long afterProhibited from movement, taken off the road, I would have thought.
It seems only the other day, all these Solo SRs were delivered. I recall a launch even for the Allestree 12 plate batch outside the HSBC bank at the bottom of St Peter's Street.Ahh thanks, fairly sure I saw it earlier moving in the depot, although it might of been 506 since that went into service not long after
Yeah, I remember seeing the Arriva Optare Solo SRs at Albert Street stop. That seems like yesterday.It seems only the other day, all these Solo SRs were delivered. I recall a launch even for the Allestree 12 plate batch outside the HSBC bank at the bottom of St Peter's Street.
Yes - not 75. I got the wrong one and meant 74.I really hope 75 is not sat there broken. That was the TB one that made the news after a meltdown on the A52.
If so, then how might these be numbered, assuming they are the 6-cylinder type, given that the 1xx series is running out of numbers?yea not 75 wrong one i meant 74 lol
But it does look like the owners have been looking at 2 second hand coaches in scotland and may have purchased them.
there is aswell (cant rmember if mentioned) 29 new ADLs on order for this year too that will be split between derby LM and kinch
the 2XX series will probably be pushed into the 3XX now the group has no tempos. a rumour was floating around Langley mill that eVoRa's were being looked at... would prefer eVoRa's to the washing machine ADLs.If so, then how might these be numbered, assuming they are the 6-cylinder type, given that the 1xx series is running out of numbers?
