Buses at Derby November 2020

Buses around Derby in November 2020. To facilitate social distancing there is still a one way system around the City centre and Victoria Street looks a mess.

Are the Indigo, Mickleover and Skylink etc. fleet part of TrentBarton? As much as I'm not a fan of yellow however I will admit that Skylink's blue and yellow interior is fabulously bright and eyecatching! I wonder why they don't follow suit for the rest of the fleet? For example pink/purple interior for pink buses, black/grey for black or grey buses. peppermint/spearmint for green buses, blue/navy for blue buses etc. Would look more attractive don't you think?

[@bowlerstuff9589]

Because Skylink i believe is a joint venture between Kinchbus and Trent Barton

Those electric Cooling fans on Arriva’s B9TL’s seem to be always on without fail

[@amg9574]

excatly i go on them everday sound like air raid buses

[@michaelsandham6577]

Is same derby still in lockdown and I feel sorry for people losing their jobs

[@busestransporta-z781]

Oh park and ride bus the Enviro200mmc?

[@MarkeatonLord]

It's actually one of the airport buses. They've been using it whilst the PVR at the airport has been reduced. I imagine once the PVR goes up again it'll go back to the airport.

That Ex-London Enviro 400 must’ve been bought from Ensign at 8:11

[@MarkeatonLord]

It did indeed come from Ensign along with three others. They belong to Notts + Derby.

Hey I thought the Sixes are going to be as a Optare Versa?

[@MarkeatonLord]

The Versas are still undergoing refurbishment.

[@fin57]

@@MarkeatonLord shame the b7rles are much better

[@MarkeatonLord]

@@fin57 the Versas are more than adequate for the route. Despite having smaller engines than the current Scanias they have more horsepower and as such will cope better with the route than the Scanias.

[@DylansBusSpottingVideos]

@@fin57 the B7RLEs would suit the Sixes actually, I was annoyed when they replaced the Eclipse on the cotgrave with 200 MMCs, Eclipse were so much better on them..

[@MarkeatonLord]

@@DylansBusSpottingVideos having driven a B7 on the Sixes routes I can safely say they wouldn't be suitable. The Renault engines just aren't really up to it. The B8s would do well as they're actual Volvo engines and better constructed than the engines in the B7s.
