Trent Barton, stylised as trentbarton, is a bus operator based in Heanor, Derbyshire. It is a subsidiary of the Wellglade Group ==History== In October 1913 Trent Motor Traction Company〔(Companies House extract company no 131912 ) Traction Motor Traction Company Limited〕 was founded and commenced operating a bus service between Derby and Ashbourne. In November 1913 a second service commenced to Stapleford. By 1925 services were operating from Derby, Loughborough and Nottingham. As services expanded the business grew to seven depots.〔(History ) Trentbarton〕 During the 1930s some 52 smaller operators were bought out. In August 1949 Trent Motor Traction Company began to operate some services in partnership with Derby Corporation. In 1958 following the opening of the A52 an express service commenced between Derby and Nottingham. In 1969 the company became part of the National Bus Company.〔 As part of the privatisation of the bus industry Trent was sold in a management buyout. In 1989 the business of neighbouring Barton Transport was purchased and placed into a separate legal entity〔(Companies House extract company no 2347412 ) Barton Buses Limited〕 even though both subsidiaries combined their operations on a day-to-day basis. The separate Trent and Barton brands were brought together as 'trentbarton' in 2005.〔 Trentbarton maintains a 6% shareholding in First Leicester.〔(Government Approves 19th Bus Sale of Leicester Citybus Ltd ) ''Local Government Chronicle'' 15 November 1993〕〔(FirstGroup Annual Report March 2013 ) FirstGroup〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trentbarton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
