Trent Barton 846
Trent Barton Optare Versa V1170 YJ14BRF (846) captured having just passed beneath the Erewash Valley line in Langley Mill whilst operating the 08:35 Rainbow One from Heanor to Nottingham.
Under normal circumstances, the Rainbow One provides a bus every ten minutes between Nottingham and Eastwood Mon-Sat, with two per hour continuing to Heanor, two to Ripley, one to Alfreton via Selston, and one to Alfreton via Jacksdale. It has been following a modified Sunday service for much of the Covid lockdown, seeing an hourly service to Ripley and hourly to Alfreton, combining to provide a half hourly frequency to Eastwood. The Rainbow concept used to cover a few Trent Barton routes, however the others have since been rebranded. 16 Versas currently cover the Rainbow One as has been the case since these vehicles replaced Scania Solars in 2014.
