This selection of images were all taken on the same day as the ‘Wrightbus Mini Hybrid’ single decker pictured in my last blog published on 12/01/2018.
‘ARRIVA Midlands’ are slowly repainting the fleet into the new light blue livery. By my reckoning the double deckers are all done,
I have seen an Optare Solo and a Wright bodied Scania K230UB appeared in the new livery on my blog dated 03/11/2017.
A start has been made on the Scania CN230UB OmniCity fleet.

Oddly enough this next bus has been repainted into a shade of blue almost the same as that that is now appearing in the ‘ARRIVA’ fleet.
Although now in the fleet of ‘masons’ of Ashbourne, the word ‘ATKINSONS’ can just be made out above the windscreen.

I was surprised to see an ‘ARRIVA Midlands’ Wright bodied VDL on service X38 in Derby Bus Station because the nearest they normally get is about a hundred yards away when they are rounding the traffic island outside the Derby Council building.
On investigation there was a substantial quantity of liquid coming out of the back end which was being attended too by a couple of lads from the service department.
All must have been well because the bus sventually departed under its own power.
