(12 Sep 2018, 7:34 pm)S813 FVK They should just follow on from the indigo batch.
They're for the i4 service replacing the Tempo SRs. I believe one (unbranded bar the light up logo on the front) was used as part of a Careers Roadshow held by ADL in Manchester.

(12 Sep 2018, 10:25 pm)Kuyoyo The ‘i4’ E200s should be 129 onwards, as they have the six cylinder engine rather than the 4 cylinder version found in 201-7/51-69.

(07 Oct 2018, 1:45 pm)Tamesider Have these actually been rumbered yet? BLOTW originally quoted 129-141, then due to a registration mix up, they were quoted as 128-140 - obviously wrong, as there is already a "128" - but now they are showing as 218-230.

(07 Oct 2018, 6:41 pm)Kuyoyo The first one is currently being used for familiarisation - that’s 129 (YX68 ULA). It’s the first to feature the new ‘Smart Mirrors’ - cameras in place of wingmirrors.

(07 Oct 2018, 7:00 pm)S813 FVK Another bit of technology waiting to go wrong!
Will be interesting to see whether or not it actually makes driving easily. The rest of the batch have regular wingmirrors:

706-11 are due to replace the Scanias presently used with a few changes - it is due to be re-branded 'The Calverton' (in line with 'The Cotsgrave' and 'The Keyworth' relaunch with the former 'Mickleover' examples last year). Operation has also already moved from Sutton depot to Nottingham Manvers Street depot.
This leaves 712-6 - rumours are that these will also be replacing Scanias, with the 'Pronto' examples being mentioned as needing replacing.

Nottingham City Transport have got funding for more biogas infrastructure. 67 more are set to join the fleet this year, with 17 and 28 confirmed to receive them.
Trent Barton have got funding for 8 electric vehicles but have made zero acknowledgment whatsoever about it so I have no more info.
