Does anyone know what route they are for? It would be nice to see one on the X12.
On the post it says "A regular sight in Lichfield" so I am guessing the circular services there but I may be wrong.

Yes. It seems the caption hasn't come up fully. It does say 'Lichfield Circulars'

Regulars on Lichfield Circulars. That is not to say they won't be used elsewhere.

It makes you wonder whether this is the start of more to come at Midlands & elsewhere within Arriva UK, parent company DB have apparently slashed the new fleet investment budget for this year

Let's hope so. Look what's happened at cannock!  Can't even afford to run pulsars so replaces them with older buses
