Trent Barton 727 (15.06.2026)

In what may have been a first for Trent Barton... well for 2026 most certainly, all three of the current red spares that are based at Manvers Street made appearances on The Cotgrave today, all of which were snapped up too! 727 is seen on Friar Lane with the blind set for its next run to Cotgrave on The Cotgrave. In the end, this bus later saw use on the Mainline after replacing the branded MMC of 115 and before then the Skylink Express as what I believe was a temporary replacement for the branded Eclipse of 744 and before then the Indigo for the morning peak prior to effectively replaced later on by the Trent Barton branded Mango MMC of 145, which was swapped on the Skylink Nottingham for the branded MMC of 127, which was replaced for the evening on the same route (what else?) by the branded variant of 126, which had been out on the route all day before then.
