Over the years that I have been producing this blog I have referred from time to time to my involvement in the ‘Community Transport’ sector.
Initially with ‘Amber Valley Community Transport’ based in Ripley, Derbyshire which became ‘CT4TC’ (Community Transport for Town and County) in 2011 when the
‘Chesterfield Community Transport’ operation was taken over. An additional base in North Nottinghamshire following more recently.
The most recent developement saw ‘CT4TC’ merge with ‘HCT Group’ which has its origins in ‘Hackney Community Transport’ (HCT) based in North London.
HCT’s business model is unusual in that they operate commercially in the provision of bus services in competition with the big groups with any profits generated used to fund local
‘Community Transport’ operations.
A brief look at HCT’s portfolio reveals operations in London, Bristol, the Channel Islands, Manchester, and West Yorkshire amongst others.
There looks to be interesting times ahead for transport in this part of the East Midlands.
Watch this space!
The new livery was revealed to the public on the 4th. of May 2018.
