Saw this on the GWR Enthusiasts Facebook page, there is a fire on the station footbridge at Paignton Station. All trains currently cancelled. Text below from National Rail detailing the disruption. https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service-disruptions/paignton-20260721/

According to Bustimes, 776 (BD65 EWH) appears to have made its maiden journey on the 18:05 6.0 Derby - Belper. M

Im what livery? Would it have been in use as a taxi? Sure it was ENC on the plate, and it looked very shiny! M

801 (YJ11 ENC) has come full circle! Just observed heading towards Ilkeston presumably to take up service, newly painted in My15 livery. No picture as I was driving! M

What is the reason that 772 (BD65 EWC) has not entered service on the sixes yet? M

Something I’ve been meaning to ask for a while… Before buses/coaches had annual testing (pre 1980s) and had a seven year certificate of fitness when new, how did a small operator without access to their own large workshop facilities manage to get the vehicle prepared for a test? M

Just seen this on TrentBarton’s Facebook, fewer services out of Meadow Road this morning…. “ Due to a police incident in Derby, we have been unable to move buses from our Meadow Road depot. At this moment in time (6:30am) the following services are not running: the villager xprss38 harlequin...

I know the picture you are referring to, the one (I think!) I saw was a while ago…. M

I’m sure I saw a photo of it stood in plain livery post repair in the yard at Langley Mill. Then again, my memory is not what is once was, so I’m probably wrong!! M

Am I right in thinking that 845 has been repaired, but not returned to service? M

This is a guess, but based on 842 being painted for Harlequin….. 836 to 840 for Swift 841 & 842 for Harlequin 843 to 845 for Comet. M

Rectified, retested and passed. M

Random question…. I understand that when the units began to get scrapped, a scrap unit was moved to the loading point between two operational units. Is this still the case, and if so what happens when they get down to the last set? M

I think 3 has been sold to C4TN; there was a new logbook issued for it on 18th February according to the DVLA. M

Nottingham City Transport have today acknowledged the completed entry to service of the 62 Yutong single deckers, making the entire sd fleet electric, apart from the four solos retained for the upcoming 90 (Nottingham-Newark) from February. They have also announced the purchase of 13 Yutong...

669 appears to have been tested on a class 5 test rather than a class 6 (PCV test) which suggests it will be used for driver training. M

I think it’s fair to say there’s a less than full service on the majority of days, I’m surprised the TC hasn’t taken a look at this. How they can claim to be “The Really Good Bus Service”…. And surely they are in breach of contract if they have been allocated money to run services then often...

This is only a quick look at three routes, there may be others. Seems they never manage a full daily service on all routes on a regular basis. M
