Trent Barton 264

Originally with Trent Barton as branded for Rainbow 4, then Skyline 199 followed on by Swift before then becoming a red spare with Wetherspoon branding, this Optare Excel then moved to Kinchbus with before then transferring back to Trent Barton where it was given the old branding on it despite the influx of the newer livery at the time and the displays have differed too, it starting out with paper displays before being replaced by LED displays before then being replaced by paper displays again before then being replaced by LED displays again. It's safe to say that this bus has been seen with different looks and displays then and this was based at Manvers Street before eventual withdrawal and it could be seen on routes such as the Keyworth Connection route, as illustrated here. 264 is seen on Melton Road with a Keyworth Connection to Keyworth. In the end, I think this bus took over from an 07 plate branded Optare Tempo in the form of 315 to work the route but I'm not too sure.
