MEMBERNEWS Ilkeston gets more frequent Flyer
Bus passengers in Ilkeston are getting a more frequent Flyer service, thanks to trentbarton adding another bus to the fleet, improving its frequency to every 12 minutes. The £160,000 investment by
trentbarton in the extra bus and drivers in the service, which runs from Ilkeston and Cotmanhay to Derby, got into gear in September. In 2017, the Ilkeston Flyer’s
frequency was improved from every 20 minutes to every 15 minutes when the fleet was boosted from four to six buses. This new enhancement to the
service has created two new driver jobs, taking the driving team to 19. Like the rest of the fleet, the
extra bus will have superfast free WiFi and USB power, comfy seats and air conditioning for a premium passenger experience. trentbarton took its friendly
driving team and one of the buses to Ilkeston’s Market Place to launch the enhanced service and talk to local people about the improvements. Managing Director Jeff Counsell
said: “The Ilkeston Flyer is increasingly popular as a valued link for local people to get in and out of Derby.
“Every 12 minutes an Ilkeston
Flyer will depart and we hope local people make great use of this improved service.
“It’s so well-used that we can see
the need for another bus to join the fleet, so we can have even more services each hour.”
