Notts and Derby installs Centrad CCTV on five new buses

Notts and Derby Buses has added Centrad CCTV systems to its five new Alexander Dennis vehicles.

Part of the Wellglade Group, the Midland operator already has Centrade equipment fitted on its 30 other buses.

The eight-camera installations are designed to not only protect the public but also drivers and the company itself, in the event of false claims.

Stuart Frost, Manager of Notts and Derby, points out the 360-degree cameras had brought many advantages.

“Not only do Centrad’s cameras give all-round protection to our vehicles but also to our drivers and passengers and indeed Notts & Derby itself as a company,” he says.

“In fact our drivers were really pleased when we introduced them.

“In the event of a claim where a driver may have to brake or take evasive action and a passenger is injured as a result, we are able to see what has happened and the events that followed. False claims are not exactly unheard of in our line of work and if we were unlucky enough for this to happen then of course the Centrad system will have more than paid for itself.

“As well as complete visibility, it also offers protection to our drivers and passengers – for example, in the event of disruptive teenagers on board a bus – offering peace of mind to those on board.”

Mr Frost says the camera systems had already reduced the Notts and Derby’s insurance premiums and that the footage is consulted retrospectively in the event of an incident.

“Basically, it covers your back and provides total peace of mind!” he says.

Centrad, which was established in 2006 by Managing Director Geoff Cross, originally specialised in electronic LED destination displays.

Mr Cross adds: “We’re delighted to continue to support the Wellglade Group and protect their fleet with our camera systems. Our systems will no doubt provide Notts and Derby a return on their investment many times over during the life of these vehicles.”

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
