• The 9 Rushcliffe Mainline examples are the first due, in July
  
• The 11 examples for Skylink are due in September
  
• The 5 short examples for the Allestree are due after those
  
• A further 3 new buses are due this year - more Euro6 Citaros for Kinchbus to join the present examples on Skylink
  
• After a long time in storage, formerly Mickleover B7RLE 728-35 are being refurbished for Keyworth Connection and Cotgrave Connection which will both be rebranded as 'The Keyworth' and 'The Cotgrave'
  
• All the original style Tempos are to be removed from service - currently nothing mentioned about their replacement on the 21
  

• Two additional E200MMCs have been delivered and already entered service at Nottingham - they are 109/10 (YX17 NTK/L) in the new 'Mango' spare livery.
  

• The 'Mainline' example launched yesterday in Bingham and are 111 (YX17 NTJ) and 112-9 (YX67 UXR/S/T/U/?/V/Y/Z) (registrations of 112-9 are mainly tbc), these entered service today. The reason for the registrations mix with 109-11 is that what is now 111 should have been 109 (as it is body number /01) but the incorrect interior was fitted during build.
  

• The replacements for Tempos 317/8 on the 21 are former 'The Nines' Solos including 469/70/1. Two examples, currently said to be 478/9 (FJ09 MWD/E), are to be refurbished and repainted to move to Kinchbus to replace Solos 458/9 (FE02 KFF/G). 479, along with 472 (FJ09 MVW), are on-loan to TM Travel to cover 'Spiria' branded Centros which have proved to be unreliable. 491 (YJ11 EKT) is now branded 'Little Sixes' to replace 466 (FG02 BGO) at the Matlock outstation.
  

• Following reductions on 'Rushcliffe Villager' services, Solo SR 501-3 (YD63 VDL/M/N) are due to be re-branded for 'Spondon Flyer' which will reduced to one route around Spondon at the end of October (the current Green route). Versa 806-9 (YJ11 ENL/M/N/O) will become spares
  

• Former 'Cotgrave Connection' Scanias 620-2 (FJ03 VWK/L/R) have moved to the Notts & Derby fleet at Derby depot. Similar Kinchbus Scania 639 (FD53 WWL) has been withdrawn following an accident and is now with TM Travel for spares.
