Lack of space in Meadow Road and a major refurbishment of the building is commencing
I'd think with Flixbus work being taken on, there is hardly room to swing a cat at Meadow Road.. I know staff have trouble parking. I wonder if Derby City Council will be using part of the Stores Road site, when they have to collect food waste (current site isn't big enough)

Interesting day across Kinch.
Campus shuttle - for the first time ever I believe - had three buses allocated to it, all MMCs (108, 175 and 347).
Looks like this was at the expense of the 11 which only ran hourly instead of every 30 mins.

That said, wasn't 1031 double tracking?

This is due to Careers Week at Loughborough University this week. While yes it's not ideal that and 11 dropped some runs yesterday, it could've been worse as at least the 12 covers the same route although in the opposite direction.

Anyone know what’s up with 497?
Last time I went past Meadow Road, my thought would have been "what is up with 496, 497 and 502?". At one point, they were all on the dead lane.

Still seems to have the for sale sign up. My only concern was the other year, this area flooded and some people lost their cars, that were on premises around there

I believe work has been done on the site to minimise flooding risks since then.

Also the engineering department has been restructured to allow Notts and Derby to have dedicated engineers / engineering management.

I am still trying to recall, by which route, the floodwater got to West Meadows Industrial Estate when it flooded. Maybe the footpath down the side goes under, rather than over the railway line (which ought to be a barrier). Yes, indeed Notts and Derby do have their own team.

I know ;)

This will also allow Notts and derby to keep expanding, hopefully, too.
