Talk:Trentbarton

Logo
The Trent Barton website has a graphical logo in all lower case (as is its logo for "Red Arrow"), but the name of the page is: "Trent Barton Bus Services in the UK", and the same is true of the titles for the other pages of the site. In the face of the inconsistency we should use the typogarphically standard version.

I've also just noticed that some of this article is copied word-for-word from their Web site--Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 16:24, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Move?
Would it be an idea to move the article to Wellgade Group with Redirects? That way KinchBus, Notts and Derby and Midland General don't seem out of place

Spilt?
Would it be a good idea to seperate Kinchbus and Notts & Derby into seperate articles? and create a page for the Wellglade Group with links to this page and pages regarding Kinchbus and Notts & Derby? They seem out of place in this article, because although they have the same parent company for clarity separate articles would be more appropriate with a page for Wellglade Group

Added to as a Derbyshire company, and article is Unreferenced

Yes, that would be a good idea, as I have seen more Notts+Derby Buses then Trent Barton lately. Koshoes 13:38, 21st December 2008 —Preceding undated comment was added at 13:39, 21 December 2008 (UTC).

YES kinchbus would do ? 86.4.127.20 (talk) 22:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Kinchbus already have their own seperate article, see here --MSalmon (talk) 22:14, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

NEW Leicester Express service
I've heard that trent barton are running a new route from Nottingham to Leicester from 25th July the apparent service number is 'Leicester Express' operating monday - saturday although there aren't any other details at the minute (source: latest vosa n&p dated yesterday) 82.132.138.250 (talk) 12:10, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I know, but nothing has been released yet --MSalmon (talk) 14:32, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Route Table
I was thinking why does the route table have which buses are used ? They aren't included in other bus articles for example Kinchbus, Arriva Fox County and Centrebus just to name a few. I was wondering should these be removed as they are slightly pointless to me. I am also wondering why is there a section about Kinchbus and Notts & Derby when that should really be in the Wellglade article. Fatty2k10 (talk) 21:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Trent Barton Logo - Main Image
I think that the main image on this page, like for most companies, should be the Trent Barton logo, not a bus.

I have sourced their new logo (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jRf_Y3HGrPw/T6QJpdSU3MI/AAAAAAAAADc/fPCxz75floE/s1600/new%2Btrent%2Bbarton%2Blogo.jpg)

Can you apply the change? Also, Trent Barton don't manage the Manchester Skylink anymore.

Trent Barton Bus
The pronto is managed, but not run by, trent barton. You will find, as trent barton state themselves, that pronto is run by Stagecoach. I feel bus image should be replaced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radio-official (talk • contribs) 16:50, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * ...Do you have a source for that? And what's the difference between managed and run by?  Rcsprinter  (chat)  @ 18:51, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The Pronto is jointly run by Trent Barton and Stagecoach. The image shown is one of Trent Barton's buses.  Arriva436 / talk / contribs   20:25, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Main Picture
I think the main image should be changed from a bus to the actual logo which can easily be found online.

Other articles have the company logos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecoach_East_Midlands) and feature branded buses in the article - not as the main image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cleanupwikipolice (talk • contribs) 09:00, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, I added File:Trent Barton logo.gif to the infobox.  Rcsprinter  (yak)  @ 15:25, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * That's an old logo - they have a new one which has been in use for several months and can be found on their website. 90.212.254.174 (talk) 08:30, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, I updated it to File:Trent Barton logo new.jpg.  Rcsprinter  (speak)  @ 15:29, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Upper / lower case
Per WP:Caps names should always start with upper case. Reason that BP, National Express and Vodafone articles begin with caps despite both companies logos having all lower case lettering. Mo7838 (talk) 06:57, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Is the correct spelling "Trentbarton" or "Trent Barton"?
On the Trentbarton website, the company name is spelt without any spaces, while this article's title, as well as some mentions, has a space between "Trent" and "Barton". Considering it inconsistently switches between each spelling, I'd like to believe this is just a typo that people probably assumed to be correct. Aethonatic (talk) 18:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I'm not too sure on the policy myself. A while ago, this page was called "Trentbarton", then before that, it was called "trentbarton" - although the latter has gone due to some Wikipedia policy I can't remember. I personally went in with an abundance of caution by sticking with "Trent Barton" in the article body, but I would wholeheartedly support a move to rename the page to "Trentbarton". Better we get the issue hammered out now rather than face endless page moves. Hullian111 (talk) 18:56, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Operator has identified itself as Trentbarton since at least 2016 and is the established WP:COMMONNAME. Per WP:NCCORP: A company name that begins with a lower-case letter, and which is conventionally written this way by the vast majority of independent sources, should be in such a form in Wikipedia content. A similar example is eBay. trentbarton is the format usually used by industry and mainstream secondary cites, although sometimes Trentbarton is used when it's the first word in a title. Examples are:
 * Alexander Dennis: trentbarton continues investment with new order for 29 Alexander Dennis Enviro200
 * BBC News: Trentbarton's night bus and Red Arrow fares to rise
 * Bus & Coach Buyer: trentbarton offers free travel
 * Coach & Bus Week: Trentbarton selects omnibus cloud tech
 * Derbyshire Times: trentbarton's Scarlet wins Rising Star award
 * Nottingham Post: Abolutely faultless bus driver Robert is treantbarton's number one
 * Route One: CitySWift announce partnership with Transdev Blazefield and trentbarton Lutus3 (talk) 05:47, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
