‘trentbarton’ (tb) introduced its then new ‘Zoom’ route on Sunday the 8th of September 2013.
Running along the A52 non stop as far as Borrowash, it then went on to serve Draycott, Breaston and Long Eaton.
I said at the time in a blog published 09/09/2013 that it was,
“probably the fastest service (the residents) had ever had.”
Initially operated with route branded Optare Solo’s, these were exchanged for bigger Scania L94UB’s with Wright bodies presumably because of the need for bigger buses.
I have seen ‘Zoom’ buses in and out of Derby bus station with what I thought were decent loads on many occasions so it came as a surprise to see in Derbyshire County Council’s ‘Changes to bus services’ website that from Sunday 19th. of February 2017 the service is to be withdrawn.
‘notts+derby’ are replacing much of the route with its services 12 and 12A.
So, a look then at the hardware.
