This blog is a follow up to the one posted on 15/04/2022 which looked at the bus station.
The major users of the bus station are ‘Arriva Midlands’ which has its roots in what was ‘Derby Corporation Transport’ and ‘trentbarton’.
‘notts+derby,’ ‘High Peak Buses’ and ‘Kinchbus’ provide the rest of the bus movements whilst ‘national express’ is the main coach operator.
These images represent the majority of the buses that use the bus station.

the (ADL) bus where they replaced Volvo B7RLE / Wright Eclipse’s.
