Not anymore, Burton are keeping them from what I've heard.

One was on the 813 today, it felt more like an oven than a bus.

2 ex-London DAF DB250LF Presidents have turned up at Derby for refurbishment. the one pictured is a '52' reg

I wonder if these are destined for a Midlands fleet, or does Derby do refurb work for other Arriva regions?

Arriva North West already have a number of these Presidents in service, so are they destined there instead. It would be nice to have 2 in the Midlands

They do refurbs for other regions too, they recently had some Alx400 DAFs there that went upto Arriva north east

I didn't think a Midlands garage would be getting these Presidents (Would be nice though!) I wonder where they are destined to go to.

Sorry if it has been answered before but I don't usually pay attention to the thread, Which route at Derby is becoming Sapphire Operated? 

Although it is operated by Tamworth but whilst on the Sapphire topic, When is the 110 becoming Sapphire (New build E400's isn't it?)

Service 38 Derby to Sinfin is being upgraded to sapphire with I believe 6 brand new Enviro400's later this year.

The Lowlanders or the ALX400s Nathan?

Some of the early Lowlanders were rumoured to be going to Arriva Wales, I don't know about the ALX400s

I think Wigston should keep the Lowlanders and send the Alx400 dafs off to Arriva Wrexham
