According to a couple of posts on Facebook, it appears Midland Classic are now operating on Amazon routes. I believe they are doing journeys on the A5 and A51 alongside NX? I'm not too sure though.

Saw one of the Wright double decks on there this morning heading towards Lichfield 47 I think.

The bush telegraph suggests that Julian Peddle (Centrebus / Midland Classic) has acquired 10, 12 plate, E200s through Manheim auctions in Coventry. The vehicles were new to First London but passed to Tower Transit when First disposed of its London operations.

YX12 AYZ and YX12 DJE are currently at the Midland Repair Centre, Derby, for work and are thought to be for Midland Classic. Time will no doubt tell.

Five reported to be for centrebus. D&G seem a good bet for some as they appear to have an increased PVR of 3 from late November

The 09:50, 10:50 and 11:50 X12 ex Burton are all DD operated, all the rest are SD.
