I wasn't sure if it was in competition with Arriva X38, now the deal had been done to acquire Burton Op's

For Boots in Burton

Boots are looking for all sorts of services to there

New timetables now on website. It looks as though they may be outstationing three buses in Uttoxeter.

And brand new buses will be introduced on routes 2/2A. These will be Metrocitys I think

New MetroCity YJ66 AOY parked up where buses lay over adjacent to New Street on Saturday

[Dylanbusboy45]

The 4 new Metrocities entered service on the 2 today. They are:
6 YJ66AOY
7 YJ66AOZ
8 YJ66APF
9 YJ66APK

A few observations although I wouldn't say there is route allocations:
55 (Stevensons Scania)/110 (ex Arriva 3710) on the X12
41 (R2NEG) on the 21
Ex Arriva Commanders seemed to be spread out amongst most routes

6 YJ66 AOY
7 YJ66 AOZ
8 YJ66 APF

46   LJ04LFV
47   LJ04LGA
48   LJ04LGD
49   LJ04LGE
and it  is reported elsewhere two deckers on loan from Notts and Derby too.  I wonder if there might be more tomorrow when the schools return.
