The first one has been vinyl'd up. The new livery is in the same style as the Ilkeston Flyer, with the sky blue part being replaced with the current green.

They're off the Rushcliffe Villager route, so 63 plates.

There are only two mango branded enviros. Fully branded fleets of new enviros are due for Skylink Nottingham and Mainline this month.

All of the 08 plate Geminis went off lease with one 11 plate receiving the Pride of the North branding

Ilkeston flyer buses have been fitted with route colour indicators (like Rainbow One, Mickleover etc) which I'm sure don't come cheap. Maybe they've been put in for a reason...

Seven of the Mickleovers are headed for the Keyworth and the Cotgrave and the Tempos are apparently being withdrawn from front line service due to their reliability. I expect that the only inter-Trent cascade will be the Allestree solos, with some buses potentially being cascaded to sister...

Refurbished Volvos for "the Keyworth" and "the Cotgrave". New ADL Enviro 200s for Rushcliffe Mainline and the Allesstree. New Mercedes Citaros to replace the scanias on Skylink Derby. Supposedly new buses on Skylink Nottingham. There's still 2 Mickleover Volvos and 14 Nines solos (all 09...

Yourbus have today registered routes on VOSA that would suggest that they're planning on competiting with Arriva Derby on the Chaddesdon corridor.

The latest is that Rhys Hand of CityFox fame, and similarly unprofessional with his Twitter comments, is to work for Connexions. Rhys works with Phil Stockley at CityFox, who was due to go Transdev but then he wasn't, there's clearly something going on behind the scenes and it seems to be...

Confirmed that Transdev's will be Volvos and not in a configuration currently in the UK.

The Mickleover uses 8 buses.

http://westbridgfordwire.com/trent-barton-invests-3-5m-new-british-buses New bus order for Tremt Barton, Enviro 200s for the Mickleover and Nines. That'll cascade 22 09 plate buses (14 solos, 8 eclipses), I'd imagine cotgrave connection and the eighteen could be up for an upgrade

If the services / bits of service they're cutting haven't been profitable, given the length of time some have been running, they'll have racked up some serious losses, Citaros aren't cheap buses! The latest suggestion is that once the indigo refurbishments are completed, refurbished...
