yes I can only find a £6.60 day ticket on the X38 I don't know where the £3.50 ticket is coming from, and highly doubt it exists since the £3 single increase...Is it?
It seems to be hidden - if I look on their website I'm offered a £6.60 ticket for just the X38 or £5.40 for the Derby area.

It is confusing. Maybe only available on the bus. The Derby zone ticket is now valid to Burton on x38 (only route they have to Burton), so no idea why there is a more expensive x38 ticket on the website anyway.
Of course, in Derby there are different day tickets, one valid inside the Inner Ring Road.
Presumably a shrovetide thing?
Yes, just for two days. Surprised to see them as since last year, the Swift has gone half hourly.
Even said on the website that they don't expect to run extras but will have buses on standby if required so there must of been a few traveling.
Didn't look too many to me...Last year there was a big queue. But I guess they have to be certain intending regular passengers can get on...
From what i saw today from 1030 onwards every bus left with a decent load or full til about 1pm but thats not counting how many people were picked on route which i heard was alot
If they're trying to use it to encourage passengers onto their buses, they've missed a trick... Especially as the Zone map for the Derby ticket on the website definitely doesn't include Burton.
Leicestershire County Council are doing a good job with funding!
Also some changes to the Centrebus 27/27x as they become the LC5 and 5X
And the Central Connect 93, extending it to Nottingham- even more competition for the mainline!
Are there any changes apart from the renumbering?
Think it's more a renumbering exercise with some of them
27X to LC5/5X is just a renumbering, no change to timetable or route.
There won't be any competition if the Mainline is every 10 mins and the 93, presumably, will stay hourly
Maybe it will just replace the Tempos in the driver training fleet
703 wasn't looking in the best condition for a trentbarton vehicle (yes it was meant to be temporary but it lasted a lot longer with the 'sorry about my appearance' vinyls than originally anticipated I think).
Apparently replacing some Solos/SRs on ilkeston network (30s) out of Langley Mill. Quite nice to see some volvos carry the new trentbarton livery/identity, they suit it quite well!
Yes but 728 is actually vinyled up
Categorically not. There's a plan for it.
I knew I would say the wrong one lol
Replacing the older solos 472 and 473 as far as I know and one is already up at TM.
My word .472 is compliant for Sheffield!
Yeah both are, makes sense they send them to Sheffield especially since 472 has a relatively new engine
Almost in fleet livery, for up there. Wonder where Optare Versa will end up, now it is back from TM Travel? .Got a new MOT on Friday.
It's not officially confirmed but the trips which look like they will be operated by TrentBarton/Wellglade (extra 004/005s which start/end in Derby and 002s which start/end in Derby) all seem to be bookable from 12th June. Flixbus may move this forward but as of now, that is what can be booked, and with how the vehicle duties work, it strongly suggests that this is the current scheduled date for TrentBarton/Wellglade to start operating Flixbus.
