As reliable as the displays at bus stops. I was on a bus last week. The electronic displays said the bus was due in 5 minutes AND at a time that was different (but relevant to the same bus)..Strange, the relevant bus was just leaving the bus stop at the time it should.
I've noticed a few passengers get on the High Peak 114 and ask for Ashbourne
811 is indeed on Allestree blue. Maybe it is something to do with the VOSA visit to Meadow Road
Might explain why some of n+d's vehicle allocations are slightly odd as well811 is indeed on Allestree blue. Maybe it is something to do with the VOSA visit to Meadow Road
Can't say I noticed anything odd....but at least they have some buses to lend to Trentbarton. Lucky they are still red, albeit mostly debranded.
Have to say it is better than they were before - at least they are taking loans in from other depots / notts+derby which don't need them and trying to keep a full service. Even if they aren't running a completely full service, it does seem like they are putting some more effort in to keep as many running as they can. Maybe they just have more ones lying around now that they didn't have available previously.
Ah yes, so it said on the vehicle that was there.
Only three off this afternoon. 701, 737 and 738
At least less services are being cancelled.
As far as I know, just the Red Arrow coaches. But then, you never know, of profit far exceeds expectations......
It's too early to know such things
A depot spare bus can be used on any route. So not unusual to get a Volvo on the My15. Versas 801 to 835 have a different engine to 836 to 851. One type has Mercedes engines, the others Cummins.. Not sure on gearboxes
What's puzzled me is that the back end of 801 is slightly different to that of 802, most noticeably with the shape of the back of the windows, despite the fact that they have the same taillights.
Contractors seemed to be digging up the Corporation Street bus shelter today... Bet it gets replaced with one with seats and totally exposed to the elementsMinor changes to the X38 from 1st June. Comparing the timetables it looks like the evening journeys between 1900 and 2330 move forwards 5 mins so they are at the same times as Arriva. It also looks like the terminus point in Derby will go back to Victoria Street.
timetable changes from 1 June

trentbarton are proud to be the really good bus company, serving Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire & Leicestershire in the East Midlands.
Where does it say that? On the new timetables it still says corporation street
Strangely enough, in the post by 43055 just above.
Okay it doesn't..Could have sworn it did.
It will be replaced with the same style as the other new ones on the stretch outside the council house, with seating, glass panels on one side and lighting. It has been done later as it wasn't on the original work plan as the "temporary shelter" didn't exist when works planning was first done.
It is more of an assumption. The timetable on the trentbarton website gives varying times between Corporation Street and Victoria Street (5 to 20 mins) in the Burton direction but from Burton the times shown at Victoria Street are all 5 mins after Corporation Street.
