05.08.25. Andrews of Tideswell are now supplementing (or replacing?) the fleet of vehicles acquired from the defunct Hulleys of Baslow business. This Optare Solo was originally registered MX07 BBN and still carries the livery of its previous operator, Stantons of Stoke. Its earlier history includes spells with Castleways of Winchcombe and Marchants of Cheltenham. The photograph shows it approaching Broomhill on the 1600 service 257 journey to Bakewell via Ladybower, Bamford, Grindleford and Eyam. Like all of Andrews' current services this was operated by Hulleys until their demise earlier this year. (Photo taken 5 Aug 2025, posted 7 Aug 2025)
