Notts & Derby - 21st December 2009

Today I went from Ripley to Derby on the 11:55 9.3 which was running 5 mins late. On arrival I saw several Notts & Derby buses on services 17A, TP, 73 and 17 which leads me to ask the question as to what is the relationship between the 17A which runs to the north of the city and the 17 which run just beyond the boundary to the east.
Finally the TP has come all the way from Buxton. Rather a spartan bus for such a long journey.
