As much as I absolutely hate to nominate this ... There's no evidence of any notability that I can find at all, Sadly a non notable bus company that Fails GNG. –Davey2010 • (talk) 06:05, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

- Keep Nu-Venture is a notable bus operator, "one of the five main operators in Kent". Two global multi-nationals dominate the county, with the other three being second tier players, all around the same size, but with different territories. It's the same situation across most of the UK, at least in the profitable areas. Like all these 2nd tier outfits, Nu-Venture have a long established presence and a significant market share, particularly in the sensitive subsidised market. Nu-Venture also has/had an unusual fleet, making it more notable than the average operator. All this notability will be reflected in the coverage in proper sources - books, magazines, trade journals. Google is about as useful for assessing notability in niche topic likes this as Misplaced Pages is - take a look at Transport in Kent for example (or even the Kent article) - who knew that there's apparently not even a single notable bus operator in the whole of Kent? There's not a lot you can write about bus operators if all you're doing is aggregating press releases found on Google. If Misplaced Pages is aiming to be "the largest encyclopedia in history, both in terms of breadth and in terms of depth.", then operators like Nu-Venture are well within scope.
