Stopped tracking 30th May. Maybe the roads are getting more dangerous with certain car drivers.

Yes it was last Saturday evening. The road it happened on it certainly not the nicest being narrow in places with tight corners and a 60 limit.

Yes a 60 limit. Some car drivers see it as a target.

Assuming the stretch between rolleston & tutbury? Always quite scary section meeting other vehicles on the blind hill.

I so happened to have caught 802 again (seems to be the only 15 branded versa to have these displays as of writing this) and here you go, not the best of pictures but it'll do

Yes Rolleston lane. It doesn't help that the corner is about the narrowest part of the road. Lost count of the amount of times I have been going along an a car driver has gone into the hedge thinking I'm going to hit them!

716 is being returned from Sutton to Langley Mill today- it's not on the threes as per bustimes, one of the mango Versas has acquired its ticketer without being reallocated

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

Probally needs more work than the rest to get it ready.

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!

Highly doubt it's entering service as 820 is still out - if it was then it'd most likely take that off given it's the only spare out on there
UPDATE: It's parked up at LM

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

It's in my15 livery so it probably is that you saw, I presume it was on a test run

I did wonder at the time if either 801 or 830 would be repainted for the my15 - looks like they aren’t going anywhere any time soon

I've just left Langley Mill and it is indeed 801 in my15 livery.

There are no plans for any new service buses this year for trentbarton brands.

Yes, 830 is working for TM Travel
Not sure what it means exactly and doesn't actually state it's a bus route however I was looking at the isley Woodhouse new town below the airport and saw a image saying subtrans route 15 and was wondering is this referring to a my15 extension beyond the airport? Or it it just a random name coincentky called 15 in the vision plan for the town?

On the subject of repaints any news of 145 being repainted for the cotgrave?
With 801 going back on my15 it leaves the cotgrave the only route a vehicle short; other than swift but we know the volvos are to be displaced by the sixes versas anyway

https://www.facebook.com/EastMidsCCA/. If the link to the EMCCA has worked as expected, one section seems to suggest new electric buses for Trentbarton in Nottingham.

Yep.

Notts + Derby are to stop issuing tickets for single fares to reduce paper costs unless asked. Noticed the sign on a couple of their former Reading double deckers today.
First time I’ve seen an operator officially doing that. I’ve seen numerous times people take the ticket and chuck it in the bin on Trent & Kinchbus.

Either that or someone very carefully removed the logo (as the yellow dot on the “I” is still visible. The circle though does appear to be missing on the door though.

I always thought that your ticket was proof you had paid and been on that bus....in the event of an incident. The picture of 305 appeared elsewhere, showing accident damage near Rolleston the other day
That is 301 with the villager name missing on the offside. Not entirely sure why though.

I understand H1 Enviro 200MMC, 321 had an incident today around Lime Lane Breadsall Hill Top. Seems to regularly be accidents around that junction https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/bus-car-crash-causes-disruption-11005179

Given the announcement relates to nottingham city specifically the options for routes TB are likely to electrify are quite few. Calverton, cotgrave, keyworth, mainline or villager are really the only options so the announcement from TB on this will be interesting i’m sure

Could see off the Calverton Volvos and the RV Solos.
