When Notts & Derby ran the 50 between Uttoxeter and Derby it was run with a mix of double deck buses and coaches.

Got to find something for my 68's to do :lol:

So we have 3 unit's stored and missing services still.......

These two are available on Alan Thompson Sim: Electrification as far as Didcot: https://alanthomsonsim.com/downloads/western-mainlines-electrification-project-stage-1/ B&H route which goes as far a Newbury: https://alanthomsonsim.com/downloads/berks-and-hants-to-bristol-and-penzance/

Also got to consider the following Cross Country Service to Scotland and the Matlock's service back working: Matlock service Derby - on time pass Ambergate Junction 1254 6 late arrived Matlock 7 late with 2 mins before returning to Nottingham Cross Country depart 1245: Derby - on time pass...

Thanks and yeah it never stops growing! For the moment the only other Welsh stock is the Mk4 set. You could also say the GWR HST and 800's as they run in south Wales. The 175's are defiantly on the list and I think a 231 was spied in one of the Hornby shows. The 150 comes with NEM fitted but...

Whenever I have used the services around North Wales they have been reasonably busy and sometimes standing room only. I would imagine capacity is required all over the Wales network.

I thought 800's and 802's could be worked in multiple now?

trentbarton is continuing (or starting in January :D ) https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/news-and-media/our-news/article/singlefarescheme

The latest addition to the Dale End Lane fleet. Bachmann 150 in northen white. Whilst the layout is not 'based' in the north it is slowly going Welsh. See some 175's are available to pre-order now :D

But you don't want to end up in EMR's position in 2021 where the timetable was recast with more services and watch it fall over for the next month before having to remove services temporarily for 2 and a half years.

Most of Diamond East Midlands fleet can end up on any route with a lot of interworking. Whilst most of the fleet is fairly common around the country the 9 Scania Irizar i3 are interesting being only 13 of these in the country. 3 I know are at Cardiff Bus and I believe the last one is used at an...

Not 100% sure but I don't believe the regional side of EMR was largely affected last time. Certainly noticed a few changes on the London services. As Llandudno says if there are any issues then the Transpeak and sixes 6.1 run from Derby to Matlock, both are hourly. The former is the faster of...

Probably because the northbound fast Manchester services are more commonly only a few mins apart.

Even on the day after a strike? Or in this case between two.

And on Sundays after around 1930-2000 it is 0! Meanwhile Burton in East Staffs, Diamond has almost double the number of buses running at 2100 (some of the routes are supported)!

How much will the 21st be affected? I am due to travel from Jersey to the Derby via Poole. I am assuming a relatively normal service from mid morning going off EMR on my local line. Maybe busier due to being in the middle of two strike days.

Finally got round to updating post 1. At the moment the following has been updated: Intercity - Monday to Friday only Connect - Assume are very similar to as before. Sundays now all 4 car? Peterborough - Doncaster - Monday to Friday only Nottingham - Worksop Nottingham - Skegness Grimsby -...

Yes noticed the other day that it came up with the bus at 1645 on the ticket machine at Tutbury. Previously it gave a wild journey with 2 changes around that time.

Looks like 3 breakdowns for trent today. Both X38 branded Volvo's only made it until the early afternoon with 2 spares being found from other routes later on meaning a almost 3 hour gap in trent's services. Volvo 741 was out on the villager until around 0830 on the A516 between Mickleover and...
