Who pays for it?

Who pays for it?

More importantly.... why?

There's no end to end traffic that isn't catered for by the train. As for the villages like Clifton Campville, what are they going to get in Burton that they aren't getting in Tamworth (the nearest town)?

15018 was still in the base blue livery last time I spotted it in Derby so it could be that one.

The Royal Derby shuttle is now regularly a 2 vehicle service running up to every 10 mins so must be doing well.

Ah you mean the Park and Ride shuttle, often a little busy. Technically, the service known as the Royal Derby is the Notts and Derby service ...and that seems to be doing well do . Must be hospital goers, that can't face driving.

I've used the hospital park and ride, and 1 minibus every 20 minutes was not enough. In good weather many will walk if able, as it is only a 10 minute walk to the hospital, and it is signposted. So demand may be variable. There does appear to be 2 buses on there lately, although haven't seen anything to suggest an improved frequency officially.

Car park is free, bus is free and no time limit. The ones within hospital grounds are now limited to 90 minutes, £25 fee if go over. This is whilst they build a multistorey car park on what was a large ground level car park.

Well that is a pleasant surprise. Well done Derbyshire
