This particular blog runs to 26 images and would be far too long to post at one go.
This then is the first of several blogs that will be transmitted on successive days telling some of the story of ‘yourbus’ of Heanor, Derbyshire who closed down on October 4th. 2019.
This is not the place for looking at what went wrong nor the personalities involved but a look at some of the vehicles that served the company.
Always combative having over the years taken on ‘Nottingham City Transport’, ‘trentbarton’ and ‘ARRIVA midlands’ in head to head competition.
Like many more before them, they have passed into history.
One personal observation over the years is that ‘yourbus’ (yb) never seemed to attract passengers in large numbers. Many buses running very lightly loaded.
My first contact with them was when in 2009 they took over the Ripley/Matlock., (Derbyshire) service No. 141.
The first livery was maroon all over with the silhouettes of passengers in silver on the sides.
I would add that my sympathies go to all the workforce at ‘yb’ who have lost their jobs.
I wish them well in their search for further employment.
More tomorrow.
