TM Travel have upgraded the former Trent Barton 'Spria' service between Chesterfield and Sutton using Plaxton Centro-bodied VDL SB120s in place of Solos. The pair treated are 796 (YJ56 JYA) and 800 (YJ07 JWU) - which retains its leather coach seats
They have replaced Solos 431 (X631 ERB) and 443 (FE02 KDF) - their future is still to be confirmed.

I think it looks rather appealing in the Yorkshire Tiger livery. The Streetdeck (lothian style front [i know they arent streetdecks]) is just as nice though - the front of it is starting to grow on me more although the low height version that oxford have are just eww.
