A number of my most recent Derby based blogs have focused exclusively on the buses of ‘Trent Motor Traction Ltd’.
However, there are other operators who work on the streets of Derby, one of which is ‘ARRIVA Midlands’.
The company has its roots in what I knew as ‘Derby Corporation Transport’ which has travelled its own complicated route to become the company it is today.

The batch of buses from which these images are drawn have spent their entire working lives in Derby and although the fleet has acquired newer buses I feel that this particular body style is one of the most elegant ever produced which looks particularly well in the light blue livery.

This is one of my favourite locations in Derby Bus Station.
A quite sharp right turn which makes the buses lean outwards.
