Interesting comments regarding drive to digitise timetables and routes, along with contactless provision. 'Illegitimis non carborundum'

(22 Mar 2020, 3:33 pm)Ryland wrote Any idea what routes they'd likely to appear on Details are now emerging on delivery dates for the latest Trent Barton E200MMCs thanks to The Derby Bus Depot The first batch due are the 11 bound for the 'Kinchbus' fleet to replace the Citaros on 'Skylink Derby' - these are due in the next few weeks and will enter service gradually. The Citaros will then go in the opposite direction to ADL for resale - a number are understood to have already been sold to Ipswich Buses. The second batch will be 16 for 'rainbow 1' replacing 6 year old Optare Versa V1170s (the only examples of that length in the fleet) which will be redeployed within the Trent Barton fleet with rumours of 'the sixes' mentioned. Reports suggest that some of the remaining 25 due in 2021 will be for Sutton depot for 'the threes' replacing what will be by then 9 year Optare Versas. |

Quite a few of the Wrightbus GB Kites are in service with First Leicester now.
Despite the notice in Haymarket Bus Station advertising route 17 as one of the electric bus routes, yesterday they were mainly if not entirely on other routes instead. |
