'Scene' in Ripley (Derbyshire)

‘trentbarton’ (tb) have a wide range of route branded services and sometimes it is necessary for various reasons to substitute a fleet liveried vehicle.

 

However, it is most unusual for ‘tb’ to substitute one of their own fleet vehicles with a bus from the associated ‘TM Travel’ (TMT) fleet.

 

Here we see TMT’s YN08 JWC on Ripley Market Place this week deputising on service 1A which links Ripley with Aldercar via Heanor and Langley Mill. The more usual rolling stock would be a fleet liveried Optare Solo.

A MAN 12.240 with Plaxton’s Centro body is seen wearing the basic livery that it carried whilst working in Sheffield on the ‘busy bee’ service which is a free service linking various points in the City centre.

 

In recent times it has been helping out on the ‘tb’ ’skylink’ service linking Nottingham with the East Midlands Airport.
