I'd heard that shoplink was being set up in conjunction with localbus and premeire. Any ideas on what routes and shops it will be serving??

More details to follow

It will be KV03 ZGM/N - so the current too. Unfortunatly they will be being repainted into a new livery, Crying or Very sad

so get your pics of them while you can.

I've had nothing to do with the new livery but the whole shoplink scheme is in conjunction with Notts City Council, so I'm gonna wait and see for what the new livery is like but im not holding my breath for anything half as good as their current one.

Saw the new livery on the Enviro today, looked quite good, not a patch on Wills however Wink

Dan may have a photo of it - was on the 17 today.

The demo was on rail replacement from Matlock to Derby.

Dan did indeed get a photo of enviro 502 on the 17 along with verde LUI 7627.

I think the livery looks ok but doesnt have the clean lines or the smartness of the Localbus livery, just my opinion though.

The destination screens were scrolling between "Stapleford via Attenborough & Toton" and "ten trips, ten pounds"

Will post the pics ASAP but its playing up AGAIN.

502 in its new livery - its not of brilliant quality, but shows the overall effect. I believe it is to gain its new vinyls sometime in the next few weeks
