I recently published a blog built around ‘Stagecoach in Chesterfield’. (see blog published on 31st. October 2016).
This is a follow up to that detailing other operators who appear in the town.
This bus (and others) spent its earlier life running from Nottingham to Ilkeston (pronounced ILSON by the locals) and Cotmanhay.

New to ‘Powells’ of Hellaby to work the free ‘FreeBee’ service in Rotherham which was discontinued due to the loss of the council funding.
Then to ‘Whitelaw of Stonehouse’ in Scotland before coming South.

At one time worked on Sheffields version of the ‘FreeBee’.
It also had a spell helping ‘trentbarton’ on its Nottingham to East Midlands Airport ‘skylink’ service.
Working on the ‘spira’ which links Chesterfield with Sutton in Ashfield via Clay Cross.
I have made the point before that the buses in the 'TM Travel’ fleet that originated with fellow ‘Wellglade’ member ‘trentbarton’ retain their ‘tb’ fleet number whilst buses that were purchased from elsewhere are numbered in the normal ‘TM Travel’ sequence.
