My liking for Derby as a centre of bus interest is well known. The city continues to amaze me with the variety that turns up.
I was in the city mainly to capture images of all the remaining new ‘trentbarton’ (tb) ADL Enviro 200MMC’s (which I am now reliably advised are ADL E20D’s) that I had not previously recorded.
Then this selection turned up which, I am sure, will not disappoint !
Apart from ‘tb’s own E20D’s in service on ‘the nines’, they also had an ADL demonstrator in service on the same route.

Normally operating between Wirksworth and Matlock on ‘little sixes’ workings, it was having a trip out with orange coated crew who were presumably garage staff on a test run.
