Hello,
Is there any way to find out which ROSCO owns a particular train? I have tried using their own websites, Wikipedia and enthusiast sites and I am still no clearer.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thank you :)
Kinchbus are having to temporarily withdraw some services on their 2, 5 and 9 routes due to issues registering new drivers and drivers self-isolating.
timetable changes from Monday 16 August - trent barton (kinchbus.co.uk)
Does anyone know the history of this service? I recall it ran from Oxford to Nottingham via Leicester and Northampton but I’m not sure if it still runs, if it does it definitely does not go to Nottingham anymore.
Thank you
Had a nightmare trying to get to Nottingham to Belper on Thursday. Had to get a CrossCountry to Derby, wait 30 mins there for an EMR service to Matlock! I found that unacceptable, especially after EMR recently cut the Matlock to Nottingham service back to Derby!
Is it a good idea for a metro...
Hello
Probably a long shot but I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the registration plates of these Bus Eireann (BE) vehicles, I have tried Bus Lists on the Web to no avail. I have listed the fleetnumber and current depot.

Hello,
I need to use the train on Wednesday from Nottingham to Alfreton. However I won't be able to use my card, so will cash still be accepted?

Which is more lucrative, before or after Covid.
Is it scheduled routes eg. NatEx, Citylink, council tenders, commercial routes OR is it coach hire.
An example is was Beestons (Suffolk operator) right to ditch bus services in favour of coaching?
Who are the top companies in terms of size. Following recent expansions by Rotala, National Express, West Coast Motors and GoAhead, the list has got to have changed. Anyone have any different ideas?

National Express (as in West Midlands...
Hello, thought I would start a thread to talk about Hedinghams expansion against First and Konects demise by First! Sorry if this is already a thread.
Meanwhile, two buses from GoNorth East and one from East Yorkshire (all three are Presidents) have transferred to GoEast Anglia for extra school...
*Mod Note* I gather that this thread has been started to specifically discuss the coaching activities of National Express. There are threads available for National Express West Midlands, Xplore Dundee etc. Please keep any discussion about these subsidiaries to those threads.

Hello,
Apologies if this is already another thread.
Do you think that the loss of brands such as Whey Aye 5 o and Blaydon Racer was a bad thing?
Also, when are the Wright StreetDecks due? I've seen pictures of them in build but nothing about scheduled arrival.
It seems that bus builders are taking an interest in building hydrogen buses. Wrightbus is preferring hydrogen over electric while successful electric bus builders, Optare and Alexander-Dennis, have thrown their hat into the hydrogen sector. While Caetano is building a hydrogen single decker...

They are also going for route branding with the Enviro 200s painted for X12 and Optare MetroCitys being painted for 9.
I thought I would create this thread...
Most of us know that First rolled out their FTR scheme with their Wright StreetCar's to cities like York and Swansea. To cut a long story short, it failed.
Yet this type of scheme seems to be having a revival. The Glider in Belfast along with what Birmingham has planned (I forget the name...
