174 doesn't seem to have tracked lately
Electric milkfloats?
Correct
And a slightly burnt hedge at a property in Wirksworth
It isn't at all unusual for the garage field in Bustimes to have different ways of saying the same place, depending on the vehicle (or I suppose, the ticket machine). In this particular case, Broadmarsh is simply another description for Nottingham depot which also appears as Nottingham and BM. The actual garage is Nottingham (Manvers Street) for all three. As to why this happens, I don't know, but Broadmarsh Bus Station did house some of the depot admin before its latest rebuild, and may still do now. .
The depot has always been referred to as Broadmarsh
Not sure really.. I'd just be patient, they'll arrive when they're ready. Because you aren't used to it, you're forgetting they're not ADLs and take a fair bit longer to build (use red arrow's GT12s as an example). However, what I've been told there has been good progress on installing the charging facilities for these vehicles at their depot in Loughborough, which is good to hear they're in at good time so they have time to prepare them before the new buses arrive.
Please be patient! As I have cited before, not until October at the earliest!
Even when they are built etc, they would still take about 6 weeks by ship. Then get unloaded, sent to Pelican Bus for whatever they do etc
First time Trent will not have served Allestree Lane End to Birchover Way since, well maybe since they started running to Allestree. When they close Kedleston Road for resurfacing (of they ever finish Kedleston Grange), it will be interesting. Aw, you noticed 269 missing in actionThe allestree and swift have timetable changes at the end of the month. The allestree will now do a single route with all buses going via Park Farm before doing a loop near the new Kedleston Grange development before returning to town via the same route. The new timetable keeps the 10 min frequency with a 20 min service early evenings and Sundays with a PVR of 5 so I would suspect 269 is currently being painted to ready return to the route.

Yet another set of colours for TM's fleet!
Maybe 832 has already gone there.
Don't know about 801 and 822 going TM as to my knowledge there not compliment with sheffield clean air, only the versas after 2013 are, so 830 potentially may follow. But to be fair they have versa 810 which I don't think is complient
It was still at the Mill this morning but has moved since.
Short term, I doubt any others will go until they get released by the Yutong single deckers. Then maybe some will replace older Trentbarton or Notts and Derby buses. One might wonder if TM Travel will offload 810.
And there was I thinking it had done one run and gone back
Seems like 1400 has a problem with something. Using second-hand buses does have its downsides.
Yes, the Arriva one 4421? got towed from the back , back to depot before the Greatest Gathering. Think it was tracking as 3747. Not seen that since.
Out of the four Arriva have, 4420 is the only one that's reasonably reliable. 4416 and 4421 haven't been seen for weeks and I think 4419 has only managed a couple of days since it came out of the paint shop last week....
Sorry am I missing something, I thought 4421 was at Arriva Derby not TM??
It was only used for three days when Arriva (attempted to) use it in Leicester. Fancy TM buying what was apparently the worst of the lot!
