Trent Barton 110 (04.03.2025)

With Trent Barton retaining only one of the 17 plate Mango MMC's, it's now a rare breed of spare with the company with Kinchbus utilizing the other one for predominant Skylink Derby use. As for Trent Barton's one though, it is usually found working on the MMC routes, as illustrated here. 110 is seen leaving Nottingham with an Indigo to Briar Gate. In the end, this bus was on the route for the morning peak before coming back onto what was a cancelled slot for the route, the slot that this was on cancelled from 16:08 until an eventual replacement was sourced in the form of one of the Mango Eclipses in the form of 712, which saw Mainline use to begin with after replacing the branded MMC of 117.
