Must be some extra workings then. I see the new 831 from Hilton to John Taylor but nothing else and there are around 4 extra deckers in the fleet if you count 8 in (Gemini 3 + Streetdecks) and 4 out (Gemini + Presidents).
Wonder if before the schools go back these could release some of the...
1 of the 5 diagrams are still missing on the Crewe - Newark service. Which include the first westbound service in the morning and the peak 1648 off Derby which was regularly full.
So did I as I haven't seen any cancelations in Derby recently and I haven't even seen the list's on facebook. I even thought they have stopped doing it.
It is good. Also noticed the new Sixes timetable is in the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway ticket office at Wirksworth now alongside the X17 one.
With influx of more Streetlites from Leicester the number of Omnicitys have reduced with only the following still showing on the bus time fleet list: 65029, 65032, 65034, 65035 & 65038.
The brake van was going up and down the incline at lunchtime today with the class 14.
Unfortunately it looks like the goods trains have now been removed and replaced with passenger ones now.
On the ex Grand Central sets at EMT/R I believe there was a area in coach A for bikes but I also think at some point bikes were not allowed on these as well maybe before the area was set up?
Could say at least Derby is consistent with both Arriva and trentbarton showing 'Derby' on buses going into the city. Arriva and longer trent routes show the via points whereas the local trent routes have Derby with city centre in smaller letters to the right in place of the via points.
Looking at bustimes it appears that High Peak MB O530 806 has been given a repaint into a new 'Buxton Buzz' livery which looks to be a grey and Green version of the newer Centrebus/High Peak livery. I assume this is for the improved 185/186 which it has been on yesterday and today.
The main difference with EMR and GWR is that the EMR buffets are hardly used now with a trolley service already if there is catering on the service.
I hope there is more than the two tables that GWR had per coach on the HST's!
