Trent buses: BMMO-built Reg No, RC7927 (built 1940), and Leyland Cub Reg No. YRC151 (built 1962) at Belper Bus Garage
Birmingham & Midland Motor Omnibus Company. (BMMO), a.k.a. "Midland Red".Belper Bus Garage also serves as a small bus station. The front entrance of the bus garage faces on to the main A6 road, but originally buses entered via the rear of the building. However, modern buses which are slightly longer can’t fit through the rear entrance and this was closed off some time ago. There used to be a pedestrian entrance at the rear of the bus garage but that was also closed many years ago, so both buses and passengers have to use the front entrance these days.
