Well these plans wouldn’t use all of the 16 displaced Volvos (5 villager, 6 Ilkeston flyer & 5 H1) so I can see some still heading to TM
When will this be from do you know? The late August change I assume?
28th July…
No licence changes yet?
Should be good to see anyway, any improvements are always welcomed and shows the services are doing well! 
This is very true, swift has done extremely well since Covid.No licence changes yet?
I could see it being every hour since there's both routes which if done correctly would make it have an every 30 minute frequency from Ilkeston. It'll probably be like how H1 serves predominantly Heanor but then every hour serves Alfreton
No, it goes from Ilkeston to Tesco then up Heanor Road to the hospital
I don't think every 30 mins from Ilkeston to Cotmanhay would be enough. A lot of people in Cotmanhay rely on public transport. I think every 10 mins with alternating buses going to Nottingham/Derby would suffice.
Speculative, or true
If this is true.. it could imply they are giving a better service thus ending the 2 pound scheme since its what they believe people might want. (Better service over cheaper fares)Speculative, or true
What vehicles will it use? More Volvos, or perhaps ex Mick e200s?
Depends how much people are travelling.
When the zigzag goes to £8 it is worth four singles.
There was talk at one time of an Ashbourne, Mickleover Royal Hospital,Derby service that would serve the new estate being built beyond Radbourne Lane, using BSIP money. In terms of the new estates, where construction starts late 2024, a bus service was even a condition of planning permission.. That said, it was also said the houses should be built after the A38 improvement works that seem no nearer.
Certainly in charge of their own destiny if they did.
It certainly is owl and Tutbury Castle. Here it is at Hilton Village Hall earlier.
Took them long enough! What constitutes as a "Night bus"? (And don't say triple decker!)so Trent Barton have confirmed that they’ll be extended the £2 fare cap until December, excluding red arrow & now nightbus.
I’d assume routes such as skylink(s) & indigo will no longer have the cap after midnight?
Night fares seem to be £4.70 for any journey except on the Red Arrow which is £7.60!
This was a while back though, so I can image they’ll be rising.
Cheaper than an Uber/taxi which are around £30/£40 (plus the soil charge if someone’s sick! Luckily Trent don’t charge)
The swift is to be from the 28th of July
I was wondering if connect would be changed soon as its being operated by red Versa's now
