Trent Barton invests £3.5m in new fleet

Travel company trentbarton is investing £3.5m in new British-built buses that will go into service from November.

The 22 new Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) buses will be introduced to the mickleover and nines services. The nines link Derby and Mansfield, with the routes including Ripley, Alfreton and Sutton.

Inside, the new buses will feature wood effect flooring, LED lighting, visual and audio next-stop announcements and comfortable seats with extra legroom for all customers.

Jeff Counsell, managing director of at trentbarton, said: “We can’t wait to get these new vehicles on the road.

“We’ve worked closely with our friends at ADL to take these buses to a whole new level and offer passengers something exciting and unique. We’re confident in saying that these buses will be the best in the country.”
