(05 Apr 2016, 7:48 pm)Michael This is the first time I've mentioned about the Indigo brand and Trent Barton's version the forum...and i never said they copied it, yes of course they can use each others ideas but i was just comparing both and which one looks better from my point of view....

Not sure why you've interpreted that last bit as a dig at you! Follows on from comments made on Facebook, about Go North East always copying Trent's brand names..!

(05 Apr 2016, 7:02 pm)S813 FVK 708 (FJ58 KJZ) re-entered service following refurbishment today. It was joined by 703 (FJ58 KJO) later in the day.

As can be seen, they have also gained White destinations on both the front, side and rear.

The new indigo looks excellent, very eye catching and they have hit the nail on the head when it comes to 'refreshing' a brand.

Glad to see it confirmed - i had been told about this a few weeks ago but as there was no article on the internet, didn't want to post it on here as i feared it would be taken as speculation or made up fact.

Anyway, its great to see the company using a variety of manufacturers rather than just a 1 or 2 which most other operators in the country seem to be doing.

Lincs County Council are looking for 'conversions' to be carried out on their fleet of Call Connect vehicles.
Not sure of the exact ins and outs and what the conversions will entail, but worth keeping an eye out.

Freed up as a result of a PVR reduction, former 'indigo' branded Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse 718 (FJ58 KKM) has been repainted into a two-tone base livery prior to gaining 'Ilkeston Flyer' branding, replacing the current Scania L94UB Wright Solar allocation. It will be joined by 719 and 720 and are expected to enter service next month: https://www.flickr.com/photos/guy_arab_u...ateposted/

The entry into service of these Volvo B7RLEs will also see the service fully operated by Trent Barton, as opposed to being jointly operated with sister Wellglade company Notts & Derby. Notts & Derby will instead operate new services 12 and 12A which will replace the zoom service which is to be axed in February and also the current X17.
