4015 is also at South Wigston and was in service yesterday - 4017 might also be there too.

I noticed 4208 and 4209 are not in the recent fleet changes as been at Wigston. Are they not staying at Wigston, or just not included in the fleet changes?

I think they're a permanent move but probably haven't been included on fleet changes yet although some more B9TL's may be due along with the 10 E400's.

I like it! Very nice. Interesting they used the white digital display. Now... The woman looked quite excited to see the Sapphire Enviro, judging her face expression and body language. It's like "<squee> It's here!" 😂😂

Yes, it was demonstrated to ITA members in place of a 110 bus as they are not sign-written yet.

Anyone seen in derby advertiser re Arriva face possibly a fine or their licence being revoked.if revoked would it just be derby?

That's like your local rag running a story about you going to court for forgetting to renew your TV licence....

It would say you COULD face a large fine, a criminal conviction OR even face jail.

We all know which one it would be.

Local rag sensationalism to be ignored.
