706-11 are due to replace the Scanias presently used with a few changes - it is due to be re-branded 'The Calverton' (in line with 'The Cotsgrave' and 'The Keyworth' relaunch with the former 'Mickleover' examples last year). Operation has also already moved from Sutton depot to Nottingham Manvers Street depot.

This leaves 712-6 - rumours are that these will also be replacing Scanias, with the 'Pronto' examples being mentioned as needing replacing.

Further update.

712/6 have been painted into 'Mango' livery with the additional interior modifications (change of headrests etc). 712 is now based at Derby to cover on the 'swift' while the branded examples on there (736-8) are refurbished (these being some of the last examples still in original condition internally). 716 is also due to be allocated to Derby.

Former 'Pronto' MAN 18.240 22772-7 and ADL E300s 27182-5, along with former spare 27186, have now gained 'Mansfield Miller' branding for service 1 (Mansfield Woodhouse to Huthwaithe and Alfreton). These replace E200 36509-20 (most of which have lost their branding during the repaint programme which started in late 2017) for use on other Mansfield local runs.
