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.
