Norman Frost, of Stanley between Ilkeston and Derby, named his bus company Felix Bus Services after a popular film cartoon cat of the 1920s. After Norman died, his executors continued to run the business for several years. The cat then lived on as Trent-Barton's "Black Cat" route branding.
Felix bought a succession of Yeates bodied coaches, and these regularly worked the firm's Derby to Ilkeston Bus Service.
One of these, 3XRA, photographed in Derby's Morledge Bus Station in March 1971, was a 1962 Yeates Europa C41F bodied Bedford SB5.
