Trent Barton 146 (15.06.2026)

After being replaced on the Mainline by the branded MMC of 116, which took over from the branded variant of 114 on its original slot before coming off that without being swapped, an evening of flying on the Skylink Express was on the cards for this Mango MMC and so I set out to catch up with it. 146 is pictured on Friar Lane having brought in a Skylink Express service from East Midlands Airport.

A somewhat welcome change on the RV1 for the rest of the day after the red spare Solo SR of 506 was subbed was this Mango Eclipse, as illustrated here. 714 is seen in Radcliffe with an RV1 to Nottingham.

Bright red spares haven't been as common at Manvers Street since the new look launched as all the first and second batch of repaints ended up at Langley Mill with the last two ending up at Manvers Street, including 703 before its move across to Langley Mill, which now leaves this spare as the one remaining one left at Manvers Street in this livery. 727 is seen on Bridgford Road with a Mainline to Bingham.
