[1] The Rutland Flyer services were formed in the early 2000s by Leicestershire County Council, Rutland County Council and now defunct operator Paul James coaches.

[2] On 22 March 2018, Centrebus announced its intention to cease operating the RF1 route.

[4] It was re-tendered with Stagecoach being the only bidder with an offer to operate the route for £270,840 per year.

The tendering process was run again resulting in the route being awarded back to Centrebus on a five-year contract for £122,000 per year.

[5][6] In February 2022, the Saturday frequency of both services was temporarily reduced to every two hours as a result of driver shortages although by 21 May 2022 they were restored.
