‘Scene’ yet again in Derby on ‘Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

I know I risk boring readers with my continual returning to Derby at the moment but you have to admit that I usually come up with something interesting.

 

Yesterday was no exception.

 

Heanor based ‘yourbus’ have announced that they are to compete directly with ‘Arriva’ on two routes in the city.

 

From Sunday the 20th. of November they will be operating against ‘Arriva’ on the 20 to Chaddesden and the 26 to Oakwood.

 

This is not the first time ‘yourbus’ have competed directly with the established operator on a route and it remains to be seen how successful they will be.

 

Rumours about ‘Arriva’s response continue to circulate and maybe the reliveried Scania single decker I saw is part of that response?

 

The images are not the best I have ever taken but there was very strong sunlight causing deep shadows. As usual, my policy was get what you can.

Regular readers will recall the arrival of two VDL SB200 / Plaxton Centro’s with ‘Arriva’ in a recent blog.

 

Seen here is a third and I believe there could be a fourth.

We are used to seeing cars or vans being used as support vehicles but I don’t think that they are normally as well liveried as this.
