Trent Barton 146 (16.06.2026)

An interesting day on The Calverton saw this Mango spare MMC on it prior to being swapped by the branded Eclipse of 709, which, prior to the branded variant of 708 being declared available for service, was replaced by the red spare variant of 725 after it had finished work on the Indigo for the morning peak prior to being effectively swapped on the same route for the Mango spare variant of 714, which was involved in a change on the i4 as well as the red spare, one between the branded MMC of 133. Just the one spare was of interest to me on The Calverton in the form of this MMC, which appears to be missing part of its rainbow branding on the right hand side, as illustrated here. 146 is pictured on Upper Parliament Street having brought in a service from Calverton on The Calverton. In the end, this bus was later dispatched onto the RV1 due to the branded Solo SR of 505 having broken down in East Bridgford outside the Methodist Church on its way to Nottingham.
