There is an ex CT4N Solo (original livery) at Langley Mill depot. Unsure which one though

1004, 1010 and 1012 are all there

Maybe they are for spares for those in the Wellglade fleet.

I think some of the ct4n fleet was sold through John Pye auctions recently. Versa 1002 (NK09 FVL) is with Harpurs, Derby.

It will be interesting to see if the Solos get used or they are just for spares.

95 (RE63 EOK) is the fourth Streetlite to join the notts and derby fleet, all ex Newbury via buslink.

Pink berry liveried E400 1422 (SN61 BAO) is the latest (and final?) ex reading bus to enter service at notts and derby.

I could see the ex-CT4N solos replace some of the, arguably worse, Notts+Derby solos currently in use or they could be cannibalised for parts (specifically the engine and transmission) for the ex-sixes versas as I believe those specific 3 vehicles all feature the 6.7 Cummins engine

Wonder if its because of the potential tram strikes

In the current operating climate its rather harsh to criticize TB for seeking profit

Fail to see which sort of business wouldn't operate a supply and demand model.

If they don't make a profit, they won't survive. Any company has to be agile, open to new opportunities before a competitor gets in first.

Versa 820 has transferred to Sutton Junction
Volvo 713 has moved to Langley Mill.

You must be really disappointed.

You must be really disappointed.

Disappointed yes. Surprised no

I spotted a Notts + Derbys bus in Chesterfield today on bustimes, on the 'DDRT' service.

Would it be fair to assume they've got the contract for the local on-demand service? I've not seen anything mentioned elsewhere.

They certainly have. Minibuses used short term are 1017/1018.....I understand new vehicles are on order.

At this rate it'll be worth them setting up an outstation in Chesterfield...

Good news anyway, hopefully it'll bring some stability to the service - it's changed hands a few times now.

Means 55 can be based in chesterfield if there's a outstation there plus less dead millage

There's a lot more than goes into opening an outstation than simply having a few routes that happen to pass that area.
