    Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire Bus News

    Interesting you say Kinchbus as it seems that they have got Zebra funding for 22 electric vehicles unless it is some extra vehicles for the Skylink frequency increase. As for trent maybe for the H1 at LM and at Derby possibly the mickleover to get the 7/8 min frequency back I believe there is...

    Progress on Avanti West Coast's 805/807s Hitachi AT300 sets

    The 0910 as it was use to be a 10 car throughout but now seems to just be a 5 car. Looking at Chester for the new timetable the does seem to be a 1132 to London from platform 3 as well so it does seem there will one day be a split on this service as the 1132 is currently a 'runs as required...
