Bus operator announces route improvements

Bus operator trentbarton has announced improvements across eight of its key routes.

The first wave of enhancements came into force last weekend, with Monday to Saturday frequency increased to every 10 minutes from Ilkeston to Derby and Nottingham.

Later this month, frequency between Ashbourne and Derby will increase to every 30 minutes, Monday to Saturday.

The enhanced services are designed to encourage more people to travel by bus and improve the experience of all customers on major routes in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

Tom Morgan, trentbarton managing director, said: “We love putting on extra services, boosting frequencies and giving customers old and new the chance to travel in style and on time.

“We are grateful to our local council partners for working with us to encourage more people to travel by bus, reducing the number of cars on the road and cutting congestion – all of which will improve journey times and air quality.”
