From Sunday 26th. of March 2017, ’trentbarton’ have upgraded the rolling stock on the ‘ilkeston flyer’ service.
This has been done by cascading Volvo B7RLE’s with Wright Urban Eclipse bodies which previouly worked on the ‘indigo’ service between Derby and Nottingham.
With freshly trimmed seats and a new very smart paint scheme and livery, only the registrations give away the vehicles age.

To welcome the ‘new’ buses and to publicise the service a ‘triumphal arch’ of suitably coloured balloons were erected at the boarding gate in Derby Bus Station.

Perhaps of less significance but a change non the less is the transfer of ‘trentbarton’s Optare Solo’s which previously operated on ‘the nines’ Derby to Mansfield service to associate company ‘notts+derby’.
Still wearing the remnants of ‘the nines’ livery, they now have ‘notts+derby’ vinyls added.
