    Diamond Bus East Midlands (was Midland Classic of Burton)

    Possibly not as they don't have emergency exit doors.

    Heritage railways with pre-BR rolling stock that public can regularly ride?

    Ecclesbourne Valley Railway has a LMS coach which predominantly gets used for dining. Belive a second one is currently being done up as well.

    The Royal Derby has been run by deckers the last couple of days. Possibly to free up some single decks?

    EMR CLASS 222 DIAGRAMS-SX 26/06/23

    I do try to keep the EMR diagrams thread up to date when possible. Basically all the 10 car intercity services on weekdays are now peak times. Will get round to updating the weekend ones at some point. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/emr-diagrams.212284/

    Diamond Bus East Midlands (was Midland Classic of Burton)

    ah ok thanks. Ok I am an occasional user but regularly see them around Derby and Burton. I think the fleet is always clean and presentable and, at least when I have used them, the services are on time and any disruption normally seems to be posted on the Facebook page. I wouldn't say Burton is...

    Bus stop timetables - whose responsibility?

    I believe some electronic displays were being put up in Hatton at the weekend as well so maybe they are being put up in a number of places.

    Diamond Bus East Midlands (was Midland Classic of Burton)

    I thought that had to be done by April/May time? I'm sort of hoping the school holiday can be used to rebrand some of the existing fleet but I know they have to do the Manchester Bee Line vehicles as well. Or even one of those Mellor vans they have in the West Midlands. Part of me thinks...

    Diamond Bus East Midlands (was Midland Classic of Burton)

    Suggestion here that they will end up in the West Midlands. Whether that will release some vehicles over to Burton we will see. https://wmbusphotos.com/forum/index.php?topic=11.3900

    Bus stop timetables - whose responsibility?

    At my local stops in Derbyshire on a trentbarton route they look after the timetable case and route branded part of the flag. Derbyshire Council then maintain the main section of the flag which has the bus stop name on. When I was in Bakewell earlier in the year the Derby/Matlock bound stop had...

    so it's a 'big sixes' then :lol: maybe another Versa could be branded up.

    Identification of a grey box at my local station

    Certainly is different to what I have seen. Assume it is 205miles and 3 chains but no idea what the R means.

    Was the same with the Skylink between Nottingham and Loughborough until it was withdrawn recently. For some reason these journeys tracked under Kinchbus Skylink (Derby - Loughborough - Leicester). Wonder if it was down to having the same destination and brand? Some days you would also get...

    Train services with a lot of slack in the timetable

    Assuming that is becuase it is two trains basically stitched together so they run at the same times as normal either side of Haslemere.

    GWR short train lengths

    Half of the Swansea services have to be 10 car anyway as they split for the Carmarthen extensions. Anyway this thread gives me hope for when the 810 land in the East Midlands with the promise of around half the services being double sets.

    Indeed. Looking at bus times today one of the Solo's just did school runs. Derby uni will be on a reduced timetable which may free up one or both of the E200MMC's. Good news for Trent Barton today is that villager branded 703 is back out after 11 months off the road!

    Had the same with a trentbarton bus last week were the ticket machine was not working so we all got a free ride. Checking the tracker when I got home it tracked on the outbound run but only a few mins on the in out run which I was on.

    Transport for Wales (TfW) Class 67+ Mk4 diagrams

    I don't think those services have ever been named in the timetable
