With an open day at Langley Mill Trent is celebrating 100 years so I thought I would at least find something appropriate, it is also an excuse to post this less than perfect picture of Alexander bodied Volvo G617DTV. After Privatisation and with little spare cash buying their first batch of these buses seemed a huge gamble. But I read they were so reliable and liked by one and all they did much to put the revitalised Trent Barton firmly on the map. Sadly most of the former Municipal operators and operators that made up the NBC have vanished so it's good to see a once familiar name still thriving as is now only partly owned Nottingham City Transport if that's what it is still called.
Trent is part of the Wellglade Group, who also picked-up Barton of Chilwell some years back.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am aware Nottingham City Council don't have a financial stake in Trent though.
