(04 Oct 2017, 7:13 pm)S813 FVK The final batch of E200MMCs of this round of orders for TrentBarton have now started to be delivered. They are the shorter variant for the allestree routes replacing the Optare Solo SRs currently allocated: https://flic.kr/p/Y7uRSi

Launched today in Derby

Where the Solos currently used on the Allestree are going is currently unknown - but considering the major of the former 'Nines' Solos are still awaiting re-allocation some 10 months after the E200MMCs entered service on there, I wouldn't expect 492-7 to turn up somewhere quickly.

(14 Oct 2017, 8:07 am)Kuyoyo 503 has now been refurbished and repainted into a new 'Spondon Flyer' livery (screenshotted photos below taken from the 'Fans of the Wellglade Group' Facebook Group and are @ Miles Williams)

All three - 501-3 - are now done and have been in service on Spondon Flyer for the last two weeks

Rumours are now about that the former Spondon Flyer Versas will be moving onto the 'My15' alongside the current examples with talk of the long-mentioned extension of the route to East Midlands Airport (originally planned when the B7RLE were delivered in 2009 - they, indeed, had blinds for both the Airport and Heanor when delivered).

The former Spondon Flyer Versas have now been refurbished for the 'my15' ahead of two improvements in the coming months. 806 shows off the revamped version of the livery (photo @ Guy). Pending the first improvement, which sees the service increased from every 20 minutes to every 15 minutes, the quartet will allow the original 'My15' Versas to be refurbished. 801 (YJ11 ENC) will become the first Versa to carry one of the company's spare liveries, with 802-5 remaining branded for the service. Later in the year, it will be extended hourly to East Midlands Airport.

They have displaced the bulk of Mansfield's older deckers - Trident/ALX400 17709/38/9 and President 18028/39/43 - to reserve, with 18039/43 going to Hull and the rest remaining at Mansfield. Also due to be displaced are E300 27762-5/81 - which are heading for Grimsby to release E200s to Scunthorpe to see off Darts.

Solars are 625, 662 and 663

Certainly not one of the nicest looking liveries. Perhaps they could have just left the skylink express livery as it was, instead of combining it with the Nottingham livery.

The first Indigo E200MMC is on show at Long Eaton today - YY18TPO which will be 207. Seemingly confirming the Indigo batch (which are the 11.5m Cummins 4 cylinder engine version) are 201-15. The two ‘Mango’ liveried spares on order are said to be the same model so in theory should be 216/7. The 13 ‘i4’ examples are the 11.7m six cylinder model (as per the ‘Mickleover’, ‘Mainline’ and ‘Skylink’ examples).

Does anyone have an up to date fleet list for Nottingham City Transport? Googling only finds hopelessly out-of-date versions anbd/or numerically the first 30 or so buses - which have probably now be sold.

In particular, I'm after registration details of the E400Citys (incl. any known to be on order) and any other new deliveries since November 2016 - noting 431-3 are reported "up thread". Note, I do not subscribe to "TwitFaceAgram".

As you were (partly). When looking for '68 regs (anywhere), I remembered BLOTW, so after some surfing found 401-453 scattered across 2017/8. I assume 453 is the last one of the order and no other new buses have been bought in the last 22 months.
