Looks good. RE: East Midlands Bus Operations - Andreos1 - 16 Dec 2016 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.

RE: East Midlands Bus Operations - S813 FVK - 29 Jan 2017 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_uf/32353826072/in/dateposted/ 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.

RE: East Midlands Bus Operations - James101 - 28 Jul 2017 Spotted two Trent Barton E200s MMCs on delivery today - on the M1 southbound near Chesterfield. Couldn't ID but their ownership was given away by their 'Derby FAST' (red arrow) destination screens. Weren't actually going anywhere fast at the time - forlorn in the hard shoulder.

The second batch of new Enviro200MMCs will be hitting the road this time next week. This is the batch of 10 for Skylink Nottingham, 120-129. The first photos have now appeared on Facebook, and registrations have been confirmed for the following: 123 (YX67 VFA) 124 (YX67 VFB) Plus YX67 VFE (photo is only of the lower rear end - the location of the number is *just* missing off the image) RE: East Midlands Bus Operations - Dan - 01 Oct 2017 (17 Sep 2017, 7:53 pm)Kuyoyo wrote While on the subject of Trent Barton..... 122 (YX67 VEY), 125 (YX67 VFC), 126 (YX67 VFD) all pictured below. Photographs taken yesterday. Had a ride of one or two out of this batch yesterday - they were pretty quick off the mark, and I liked the sunroof. Quite light and airy inside - apt for a service branded "Skylink"! The visual TFT monitor didn't seem to work, but the audio announcements did. I noticed the same issue with the announcements on the green examples branded for mainline.

RE: East Midlands Bus Operations - S813 FVK - 04 Oct 2017 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 RE: East Midlands Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 04 Oct 2017 A large number of major changes are taking place in North Derbyshire at the end of the month: As already mentioned, the 65 (Buxton-Sheffield) - presently jointly operated by TM Travel and High Peak - will pass to High Peak, resulting in the withdrawal of the present late departure from Buxton (1900) but the addition of a later weekday departure from Sheffield (1915, presently last departure is 1730) Hulleys will take over operation of the 66 from G&J Holmes. The service is reduced to operate between Baslow and Tidewell or Buxton (only two journeys a day operate to Buxton and 3 departures from Buxton). The 66A varation is also revised - the weekday journeys from Baslow at 1435 continues from Tidewell to Castleton while the weekday morning journey in the opposite direction starts from Castleton at 0845. These two journeys replaces the once-a-day service 68 which sees the end of a Castleton to Buxton through bus.
