Are we surprised at any of the actions of this operator?

they seem to have a aversion to numbers, the 10 was displying a acorn on it's screens for acorn inn, I seen BUSLINK are meant to have the 10S for school journeys does seem a bit disjointed imo,

The Goseley Flyer has been suspended, whether it has anything to do with Swadlincote bus station being closed for 12 weeks I’m not sure.

we shall see if it does return, intrestingly they blamed Staffordshire county council for rot running it in the xmas limbo week,
The Goseley flyer operates in Derbyshire anyway…

that's what I thought when I saw their reply on Facebook to someone asking about it.

Been told by that Evolve has just acquired two short E200 from Stephensons of Essex being.
413 - SK07 HLN
414 - SK07 HLV
413 - SK07 HLN
414 - SK07 HLV
413 was more recently on loan to Lodge coaches as per: https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnm...6yw3h-2nSibPQ-2nSfP14-2nSdaPf-2ogkRC6-2ogoxe5
I wonder if we will see a return for one of the original MPD darts, the Evolve painted one didn’t last very long.

MPD Dart VCZ 222 (EU07 FRN) has now been sold to another company.

What's with all the number plates having 222 in them

I think it’s to hide the age of the vehicle

But why choose 222
What is this outfit trading as at the moment, Evolve, Lichfield City Coaches or South Derbyshire?
Mayve the TC needs to have a look at what is going on with the constant name changes, fleet and route changes, it's not good for the passengers.

I thought the TC had taken action against someone. Probably explains what is going on.

Coach storage business near A50 rejected amid 'very dangerous' bend concerns
Derbyshire councillors faced the 'bizarre' scenario in which the applicant's own agent urged them to reject the plans

Interesting that one of the people involved seems to want to "open" a coach storage site at Foston.. Article in Derbyshire Live. All a coincidence.

I think that’s why they got 222 plats to hide the age of their vehicles.

New addition to the fleet is short Solo MX07 NTO was last used with P & O Lloyd in Wales.

Interesting. Will they still be running the Meadowhall service on the Saturday? What are the ridership levels like on this, anyone seen it?Changes from the end of March. Seems like they are giving up on running on Saturdays on the 10 and 406.

I remember when an operator called Midland Choice ran from our area to Meadow hall. Y type single decker
The timetables are still up at the stops in Burton and Stretton but the timetable doesn't appear on bustimes or the facebook page so I wounder if its been quietly dropped.

I believe the X1 was only meant to be there for Christmas.
The timetable has never been on Bustimes. It operates as it was essentially a coach/day trip which didn't carry local passengers and doesn't need to be registered.

The whole operation seems to be a bit half hearted, it's a shame. The livery is fairly smart and the destinations are all well programmed.
The website is poorly laid out.
What seems to be holding the company up from improvement/progressing further?
