Ah could be as stops in some parts have 19 up which was supposed to be CT4Ns replacement for the L9 last April....

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...

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...

NOTTS & DERBY are amongst operators with revised timetables from 8th March, but a statement on their website seems to indicate a number of routes may not restart: "Services 17/17A/17S/73/D1 have now been terminated for commercial reasons. Sorry for any inconveniece caused ". Be interesting to...

According to their website went back to mid January levels yesterday: Quote: From Monday 8th February 2021, High Peak services will return to the service levels of mid-January. https://www.highpeakbuses.com/service-changes/

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...

Nottingham City Council have a consultation on linkbus services. Proposal sees withdrawal of L1, L9, L10, L11 & L12. L2 diverted in Wollaton to replace L10. Full details here: https://www.transportnottingham.com/consultations/changes-to-linkbus-services/ Nottingham City Council’s Linkbus...

On Monday Notts & Derby Buses suspended routes 17, 17A, 50, 73 & D1 (leaving Aston & Weston on Trent with no services whatsoever). They also reduced the frequency of the weekday 71 & 72 and axed the Saturday 71/72 service. From this weekend Hulleys are suspendng their Sunday services, as well as...

Best one has to be a friend - she was in her early 40s and is only 5ft tall. Forgot her ID - cashier refused to serve her alcohol. She had her 22 year old Son with her, who did have his ID on him. Cashier wouldn't serve him alcohol in case he passed it to his Mum..... Obviously cashier had no...

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!

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...

Stagecoach 95 & Gem 195 Gainsborough to Retford reverse 3 times each journey: At: Bole Habblesthorpe & South Leverton.

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...
