‘Scene’ in Derby yet again.’ ‘trentbarton red arrow’ on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’.

 

In 2010, Trent replaced its 04 plate Scania/Irizar coaches on the ‘red arrow’ service which runs nonstop along the A52 from Derby to Nottingham.

 

Being the company’s ‘flagship’ route it has always been operated with coaches.

 

The newcomers were again Scania/Irizar’s.

 

The K941B4 chassis fitted with stylish Irizar i4 bodies.

 

These coaches in turn were replaced in 2015 by Volvo B11RT’s with Plaxton Elite bodies (see blog posted 01/10/2015 for illustrations).

 

However, one of the 2010 batch was retained as cover for for the new coaches.

 

The lower seating capacity was also useful for easy morning or late evening journeys.
