I reckon the Kinchbus brand could do wonders to First's Leicester depot guess I'll have to keep on dreaming! I wouldn't mind seeing TM Travel taking over FSY too, but that really is unrealistic!

Threes branded Optare Versa 826 had a electrical fire whilst at the Sutton Junction depot a few weeks ago. It's reported to have been replaced by Optare with a brand new bus, although it hasn't yet arrived. |

A couple of the Mickleover Volvos have had the new vinyls applied (see here) ahead of the official launch on Saturday. Mango Volvo 727 has had its trent barton logo moved from the top right of the windscreen to below it, in the same way as the new style spares. See here. Former Rainbow 4 Solar 670 has appeared at Derby in the new style livery. I'm not sure what version it's in; I've heard zigzag and trent barton live. Eventually, there should be 5 at Derby, 1 at Langley Mill and 5 at Sutton. Excel 235 (the first bus to carry the original trent barton livery) has been sold to Beaverbus, in Leicester |

The only Excels remaining on Trent Barton's books are: 257 - Sutton 261 - Sutton 263 - Sutton 264 - Derby 265 - Derby 260 (a transfer from Langley Mill) and 255 are also on loan to Sutton to cover for 826 due to its fire. All other excels are 'withdrawn', although some do still occasionally appear. They should all be gone by the end of the year, though that remains to be seen. Centro 792 is expected to appear soon in unibus livery. 1184 is another Centro destined for Notts and Derby from TM Travel, it is expected to be in Notts and Derby livery. Excel 249 has been sold to Grand Prix Coaches Paladin 111 has been sold to Moving People Mercedes 1138 has been sold to an Irish operator |

I believe that there are three that are branded for Transpeak, 224, 231 and 232 as well as 233. A number of others have been scrapped (158, 225 and 226) and 227 has transfered to Centrebus' Leicester operation, although I have heard that it is on loan to Dove Holes at the moment. (Please note all numbers are Wellglade ones, goodness knows what their new ones are!) |
