In Derbyshire, when bus routes have been re-tendered, the date for the changeover from the old operator to the new usually falls around the start of October.
You have already witnessed this in my blog where ‘Derbyshire Community Transport’ took over three routes from their previous operators.
So, with this in mind that I set off to see what was different in Derby and then this turned up.

One of three, the others being.
SK72 CVZ No. 16 and SK72 CWA No. 17.
Painted in this very attractive livery that first appeared on their single deck brother which featured in my blog dated 04/10/2022.

A rather snatched image that shows the bus having spoilt its manners and needing to be removed on a towbar.
