A graphical representation of the Derby - Chesterfield Red Arrow route has been released. Trent Barton have released a statement which is: "While we’re getting your new buses ready you may see yellow buses on the route, which will be helping out whilst we get the new ones ready." Obviously referring to the soon to be ex-Two eclipses.
Notts and Derby Optare Solo SR 510 (YJ65 EPF) entered service a couple of days ago:
It was a double launch for trentbarton today for 'the Two' and 'red arrow':

Scania Irizar 75 (FJ10 OXR) is rumoured to be being repainted into the new Red Arrow to act as a spare alongside the new triangle coaches.
The 4 former 'the Two' branded Volvo B7RLEs that are not being repainted for the Comet will be repainted and branded for 'the Black Cat'.

I've always thought we should do more to encourage Sunday travel up here, even if to alleviate some congestion from Saturdays. Perhaps half price day tickets or something, given that you don't have the flexibility of a weekday or Saturday.

TrentBarton's indigo service is due to go under refurbishment from 31st January (according to Matt Burley). This will also see the frequency of the service drop from every 6-7 minutes to every 10 minutes between Nottingham and Long Eaton. This should, obviously reduce the PVR from 22 vehicles.
