The first delivery of new buses saw both Wright Streetlite D/F and Wright Streetlite W/F enter service. Six D/F’s and five W/F’s if I remember rightly.
Most made it into fleet livery but some stayed in dealer white until returned off lease 5 years later.
More tomorrow.

A couple of the Streetlite W/F’s received branding for routes 110 and 111. The branding was to show the rural nature of the two routes that linked Matlock to Ashbourne.
The 111 is a route that my wife and I use regularly on our visits to Carsington Water.
There were often only a handful of passengers on the service.

New to ‘Veolia England’ it came to ‘yourbus’ from ‘Premiere’, a Nottingham based operator who ceased operating 2013.
They had been using it on a contract for Nottingham University which went to ‘yb’ when ‘Premiere’ folded.
When the contract finished, the bus stayed with ‘yb’.
