Not even the sight of a fluffer :( Agreed, it's usually a hotel room these directors use (don't tell that woman with the kids, she'll never stay away from home again) although it's certainly not a first using a railway carriage. Not that I watch this sort of entertainment honestly, just going...

LOL Epping Ongar railway. I hope they charged a high price. Harmless form of generating revenue to help continue operations. Thanks to all those who's saved this line from disappearing for good, well done. Personally I remember LUL pulling the plug & thought it would be gone forever. Had a great...

I don't know lol. One thing I can't see is no service through Bramcote Village, the service is to well used. Even if reduced down to hourly it'll remain in some form. People won't like a tram service upto Bardills & faff about with a "connect" into Stapleford which in theory could happen. It...

From TrentBarton:- With the upcoming developments in Beeston and the introduction of the tram, we are taking steps to review our entire network in and around Beeston. Although no final decision has been made, ROUTE 18 may be developed and one option we have been exploring includes running from...

It's great to see NCT's 36 back to normal, running every 7 minutes all the way through to Chilwell again after almost 2 years of Chilwell High Rd's closure because of the tram works. Heard a rumour though & wanted to ask a question. Because of the imminent opening of the new bus station in...

THE NEW 17 lol. I love it! Back with yet another reworking of the route after having a short rest :) joking aside I wish it all the luck....

Yes lol and a lots happened :) All seems rather boring since the demise of Premiere though lol :)

Hello guys, Just wanted to ask if anyone knows what's happened to the omnibuses blog. I think they had some problems before last Xmas but news & posts became daily again. Now it's gone :(

I didn't hear anything from you or Tom & whenever I posted something it took ages to appear. I wrote a post & it sat there for days & days, so long in fact the news story would of looked silly publishing :( so I kind of gave up writing to the blog. I'm an admin of a couple of Facebook pages &...

I'm no expert recently on the old Rainbow3 route but from a couple of recent trips, (& I couldn't help getting the last direct R3 trip in on Friday)* I can't help feeling the size of the new buses simply won't be adequate. Remember these routes 40-45 were the last in Trent's fleet to operate...

Don't get me wrong either, I understand your point but look at the route map, Kirkby for example, going inbound to Nottingham some buses depart more or less at the same time because of the Newstead & Kirkby Woodhouse variants. On the other side at Hucknall these buses work out with the ten...

Thanks, thought I was going mad! As suggested perhaps I'm wrong about the gps element as I seem to remember (it's a long time ago) the 'next stop is' did get out of sync'. Also, all stops were displayed, I'm certain. I forget the operator now lol.

Perhaps route 101 was a pilot, honestly I saw it for myself! In 1995-96 route 101 had GPS tracking.

What's next, Random 'one'? 'The One' is boring, can Rainbow one survive the constant rebranding exercises? Regarding R5, 9.2, A,B,& 3G etc,*Indigos different because each variant has a dead end terminus so a simple destination board is acceptable. Rainbow 3 will soon start at the same point...

Lol isn't 'Wendy' recruiting very well. Or waiting for NCT to sack some drivers perhaps. tempos on order even.... Got to say though, finishing points of Derby Rd & Ilkeston Rd is very helpful in understanding what these new routes are all about..... What happened to 56 days notice? Is this a...

They are not actually funded. See this news article from NCT regarding the withdrawal of the original route. Put it another way then. After the fuss made regarding the subsidised Skylink & TB taking the service commercially, It wouldn't go down well at all removing the early AM runs. Surly...

Funny you should ask because I've seen the loadings on indigos after hours, in the Beeston area midweek, outbound is typically 3-6 passengers. I can't say for Skylink? Something tells me though, 3 buses from Nottingham to Long Eaton midweek, something's going to happen. I'd bet indigo goes back...

I'd say outside London, Nottingham must have one of the best nightbus networks.* East Midlands Airport also acts as a hub for nightbus connections for the 3 main cities, it's easy through the night to travel between Leicester, Derby & Nottingham via EMA.* The nearby village of Castle Donington...

No, I'd guess you mistook the nightbus only! Y34. No flags on Derby road altered so far today, although the council are quick off the mark usually.

And so the war continues.... Two new services from Yourbus starting 21st of October. Y28 to Ilkeston Road (Balloon Woods?) & Y35 to Derby Road? Via QMC. Finishing point being Derby Rd is ambiguous so were not sure how these new services will work. Perhaps a Y35/Y28 loop to & from Balloon Woods...
