‘Scene’ In Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts 1 New to ‘trentbarton’ on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The ‘Wellglade’ group of which ‘trentbarton’ is a member have made the Alexander Dennis Ltd. E20D / Alexander Dennis Ltd. Enviro200MMC their single deck purchase of choice since 2016.

In that time, they have amassed a fleet of over 100.

After a gap of three years since their last intake, a further 20 are in the course of delivery.

These buses are made up of 18 for the threes routes which link Mansfield with Nottingham via Sutton and Hucknall.

The routes, rather unimaginatively called A, B and C, whilst sharing start and finish points together with Sutton and Hucknall all link different centres of habitation along the way.

A complex network which for many years has been worked by Optare Versas.

The other 2 buses carry ‘trentbarton’s mango branding which is a go anywhere livery advertising the company’s electronic discount fare card.

YX73 OUD ‘trentbarton’ No. 179, the threes.
