BX04MXS on hire to Wellglade TM Travel

            Not something you often see in Derbyshire (if ever but sit to be corrected), is a bendibus in revenue-earning stage service. However, today was a trial by TM Travel who had this rather splendid privately-owned Mercedes-Benz artic on hire for one day's additional operation on route 218. With the major Christmas Fayre at Chatsworth it provided a good people mover between Sheffield via Baslow and the House. Will we see the likes of this in future, I suspect it's a matter of watch this space. By the way it is originally MA18 (BX04 MXS) with Arriva London then 5005 with Arriva Midlands and is in pretty damn good condition. Mrs.W and I enjoyed our ride to/from the House and well driven, negotiated turns with ease and felt powerful on the open road.
