Trent Barton are changing their image, this has began with the buses entering service on i4, Allestree, Ruddington Connection and the Threes, as well as 500 and 727 which have been introduced in a new style mango livery. The new brand extends to the interior fabric used.

Two former Rainbow 4 Scania/ Wrightbus Solars are due to go into service around the same time, 676 and what is believed to be 680. One is branded for Trent Barton LIVE and the other is believed to be branded for the zigzag day ticket. They are wearing a slightly darker shade of red than the current buses.

One is due to go to Derby, whilst the other is due to go to Langley Mill and will replace Optare Excel 260.

The Solos currently being used on the Se7ens, 411 and 423, are due to be withdrawn. Solos 466 and 441 are due to be used in their place, in their current Trent Barton livery, as a temporary measure. It is believed that eventually, three solos will be branded for the sixes, one for the short 6.1 between Wirksworth and Matlock and two to go onto what is currently the se7ens, which will be branded as the sixes.
