It has been a while since I was in Derby to look at the transport scene so today being bright, sunny and cold seemed ideal for a little wander with the camera.
‘trentbarton’ (tb) continue to introduce new Alexander Dennis Ltd. (ADL) E20D / ‘ADL’ Enviro 200MMC’s.
The latest route to receive them being the i4 one of a number of routes linking Derby with Nottingham.
These new buses carry ‘Barton Buses Ltd.’ legal titling which I believe is usual for buses based at (tb)s Nottingham depot. A nice link to the companies past.
The previous buses on the route were Optare Tempo SR’s which seem to have had a troubled time with ‘tb’ and have been replaced after only six years.
Only last year Optare provided a MetroCity to cover for the Tempo SR’s going back to Optare for rectification work. See blog dated 14/04/2017.
