‘Scene’ in Derby yet again. Other Operators 1 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’.

BV67 JZM ‘Whippet Coaches’, Cambridge ’27'. Scania K410EB6 / Caetano Levante 2 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk

 

A bit of a mystery. 

 

I know that since being new to ‘Whippet’, it has been on contract to 

‘national express’ (nx). 

 

My guess is that with ‘nx’ cancelling all of their services during the most recent  Covid-19 lockdown, the coach has had its branding removed and it is employed by ‘Whippet’ on whatever work can be found for it.

 

A good policy, because no coach is earning its keep if it’s sat in the depot.

 

The 27 above and behind the door is  I think a carry over from when it worked on (nx) contracts.

 

The service No. 005 is not one that ‘nx’ uses.

 

So, where has it come from, where is it going to and who for?

I presume that it is working a ‘skylink’ service via the East Midlands Airport but it doesn’t say so.

 

New to ‘trentbarton’.
