GOT GP40 721 at Toronto, Ontario, Canada on December 13, 1983, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 721 was built in January 1967 ( c/n 32601 ) as Rock Island 375.
Taken the very same day as the Solo SR Express is this view of TrentBarton 721 at Beeston Bus Station, when it was the interim version that only had the entrance/exit on Station Road and the Styring Street part was all a building site.
It’s all standard indigo of the time, with the front roller blinds, VIP stickers, and the Students £1 thing in the windscreen. They were competing with the Yourbus Y5 at the time, hence the 5 minute advertised frequency and above mentioned special branding.
It says every 5 minutes only to/from Beeston although in 2014 I don’t remember there being indigos that only ran Nottingham to Beeston – they tended to fan out at Long Eaton for Derby, Briar Gate, Sawley and the airport (although by this date TrentBarton Skylink might have taken over those bits). Though considering the B7RLE-era indigo did pretty much everything at one point or another I bet it did do Beeston-only services.

An old photo from a year ago that I somehow forgot to upload amongst the fact that it was route 403’s first day at Metrobus
In its final week of service, Metrobus MAN 14.240/MCV Evolution 721 (AJ58WBK) is seen in Sanderstead on route 359. This bus was withdrawn a week later and replaced by Enviro200’s SE19, SE122 and SEN34. Kinda miss these MAN’s now they’re gone but they weren’t the beat reliability wise
