Glovers Travel Ltd (previously Glovers of Ashbourne) is a small operator of buses and coaches in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. They operate a number of rural services in southern Derbyshire, often running into Ashbourne or to Derby. Other work includes school services, private hire and holiday tours.
The company is now under the control of Mason Travel of Roston, who the company was sold to due to the retirement of David Glover in April 2003. As a result of this the operating name has changed from Glovers of Ashbourne to Glovers Travel Ltd.
Most coaches now carry blue fleet names on a white base livery. Blue and cream was used before this.
Volvo coach (N763 AHP) , parked up at Derby bus station before it was demolished.
Leyland Lynx (E271 WUB) parked in Derby Bus Station at the begining of 2006. The bus station was closed by this point, but buses still used the bus park area at the back for lay over. The station has since been demolished, and the bus has left the fleet - to Barnsley for scrap!
