[Nottingham, GB] Trent Barton - The Really Good Bus Company

Trent Barton 乃係英格蘭中部一間私營巴士公司主要經營來往Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Chesterfield 等城市之路線
在Nottingham 市內亦提供免費市中心hopper bus
公司最吸引人之處就係其形象鮮明、時尚和豪華巴士服務更為旗下路線打造成品牌, 標榜「The Really Good Bus Company, The Really Good Connection」等等為營造品牌, 所有路線均有指定派車和塗裝, 更標榜友善司機、只負責一條線, 與顧客建立長期關係
所有路線都設有找續, 吸引乘客
旗下新車亦全豪華內裝, 如皮椅、木地板、LCD 電視等

今次想介紹下以下路線 :loveliness:
1) Indigo (B7RE/Wright)
Indigo 主線來往Nottingham ~ Derby, 獨家途徑諾丁漢大學南面閘門,和附近一帶學生聚居地方
一天裡亦有數班Indigo 連接East Midlands Airport, 或以不同地點作總站


2) Red Arrow (Scanis K94/ Irizar Century)
此線為Nottingham ~ Derby Express, 10分鐘一班, 標榜快過私家車同火車
所以用車都傾向客車型, 車內亦設有wifi


3) Transpeak
此線為Trent Barton 最長路線, 最長服務區間來往Nottingham 與 Manchester, 約三小時車程
有趣的是用車並不穩定, 除了「掛牌」客車型的B10M, 亦有普通的Optare Excel


更有向附屬公司「借」來的Volvo B10B/NC Paladin ...該車本屬Uni. of Derby 的穿梭巴士, 只能靠車頭兩塊牌仔識別行走Transpeak
近3個小時車程坐部咁既車....真係... :L

歡迎討論!

其實應該唔會有好多人真係坐足全程3粒鐘...:lol
B10B表現就唔清楚,但如果B10M單層巴士的話有D都唔錯,
可能單層車身輕D,架車都肯去...

不過老實講,B10M都有返咁上下耐,好多都噴黑煙,
first scotland 果d唔少都係咁...:L

更正少少先, 原來最長區間 (Nottingham <-> Manchester) 需時3.45 小時
中途大部份時間都入左深山 (Peak district)
我諗部B10B 應該都幾辛苦下 ...
今時今日呢種長距離路線仲用普通巴士行真係幾特別...
假日我又多樣節目 :lol

I took the Transpeak route to Manchester with a friend for a day out before.
But that was back in 2003.
A day return only costed £5 back then. :o
And the bus we rode was a Volvo B10M/Alexander Belfast.
Similar to the one below.

I have to say we did not spend a lot of time in Manchester before we made our way back to Nottingham because the bus took more than 3 hours each way.

你假日去遊河岩哂啦,來回坐足7個半鐘:Q ,
天光Nottingham上車,天黑Nottingham落返車...咁就過左大半日...:lol
其實個深山有無人住?..應該話多唔多人住...:L
呢D私人公司唔用普通巴士行可以出咩車行?
一陣出架solo仔比你就真係->:o :L ...
資金唔夠大公司多,買新車相信有困難...

我睇時間表下午只有4點幾同7點既車由Manchester 開返落去...Call at Nottingham by request...否則只能到Derby
其實Peak district 顧名思義都係高山地區, 除左森林同郊野公園仲有好多小村莊
而Buxton 睇地圖就應該附近最大既Town, 距離Stockport同Manchester 1小時車程
Trent Barton 其實都係一個大集團既附屬, 有時唔夠車拎其他集團附屬既車行都唔出奇 (就好似部B10B)
本身Transpeak 係有部客車版B10M .. 不過就...

最近兩次去巴士總站望transpeak 都係俾部普通車我 :lol
真係話唔定下次出部短版solo
不過到底間公司車隊如何, 有咩後備我暫時都搵唔到資料 :(

Peak District is quite popular among hikers & travellers across UK and there should be quite
a passenger load during weekends.

City buses on long intertown routes are no big deal even for large companies like Stagecoach,
which occasionally allocates Enviro 400s or even Volvo Olympians to Megabus services.
