Trent Barton 848 (01.10.2024)

Behind the red Versa on The Two was this Mango one, as illustrated here. 848 is seen on Upper Parliament Street with a Two from Ilkeston.

Trent Barton 820 (01.10.2024)

I can only assume that the Versas don't have the ferry lifts to enable them to see loads of use on routes such as The Two but today saw two of them out on the route, with me having seen one behind the other! 820, an ex-Threes Versa, leads proceedings on Upper Parliament Street with a Two from Cotmanhay.

Trent Barton 327 (01.10.2024)

As the 24 plate MMC's have the dedicated ferry lift included on them, it means that they can now be used on routes such as The Two, which for the most part wasn't possible with the 73 plate MMC's of 174 and 175 with no ferry lift included on them. 327 passes the many pedestrians in their waterproofs in the rain on Upper Parliament Street with a Two from Cotmanhay.

Trent Barton 821 (01.10.2024)

Whilsr some of the ex-Threes are for TM Travel, a decent chunk of them are remaining with Trent, mainly for use as red spares, as illustrated here with 821 in its new coat of paint, which is seen outside Nottingham's Royal Centre with a Rainbow One from Heanor. In the end, this bus moved to the 31/32/33/34/35 replacing the red spare Solo SR of 496, albeit after some cancellations, after being replaced on this route by the branded MMC of 168 late on before tea.

Trent Barton 747 (01.10.2024)

An interesting day at the Mill today saw me snap completely different spares on both the R1 and The Two in a rare event for me! 747, an ex-Two Eclipse, now in Mango, is seen on Upper Parliament Street with a Rainbow One to Ripley.
