‘Scene’ in Derby once more part 2 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

I normally pace myself to produce eight blogs a month. However I was in Derby last Thursday when this selection turned up in the space of half an hour or so and I thought it sufficiently interesting and newsworthy to publish it now in two parts.

 

For part 1 see blog posted 28/07/2018.

 

According to the driver this bus was working on ‘Rail Replacement Services’  from Derby railway station which is undergoing major refurbishment work which I believe will last until October 2018.

Leased from ‘Evobus’ Coventry branded ‘I’m helping out on ‘skylink’.

 

‘skylink’ being the service that links Derby to Leicester via the East Midlands Airport and Loughborough.

Many operators these days use mini buses for crew changes or for transferring passengers. ‘Laver Holidays’ are part of the ‘Skills’ group.
