A side shot of Optare Versa 802 as it pulls into Wharncliffe Road,
in Ilkeston about to operate the 15:20 departure to Sandiacre,
Long Eaton and Old Sawley.

A rear shot of Versa 802 showing the rear number and
destination display and the advert on the back
for the bus service.

The new style of Versa is very clear in this front shot
of number 802.

Passengers board Versa 802 in preparation for departure on
the 15:20 My15 service to Old Sawley.

The destination display alternates between the destination and
via points, and a stylised font proclaiming My15.

A pensioner shows their concessionary pass to the driver just
before departure from Ilkeston (Wharncliffe Road).

In a break from Trent Barton tradition, the new Versas
now have electronic LED destination displays, seen here on
Versa 802 in Sandiacre. 

Versa 802 prepares to turn out of Sandiacre towards Long Eaton, showing My15
on the destination screen.

The My15 seats are finished in leather, with orange headrests and
triangles on the main seats.

Bell pushes are mounted on stylised, curvy silver poles of stainless steel.
 This does not comply with the Bus Users UK best practice
guide which states that buses should have brightly coloured
grab poles for easy visibility.

A map showing connections with the Two, Rainbow Four and
Indigo has been installed on one of the interior panels.
The orange lights alternate with white down the
full length of the bus.

The view from the front of Versa 802 shows an
INIT ticket machine and more curved poles around the luggage racks.
