Diamond East Midlands (formerly Midland Classic)

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

Midland Classic 57, YN08HYO is on the X12 today and was in Sutton Coldfield at about 12:50 today. First time I've seen a Midland Classic Double Decker get to Sutton Coldfield.
It was operating the 12:55 - Sutton Coldfield to Burton Upon Trent.

If they operate the, 09:50, 10:50 and 11:50 from Burton to Sutton Coldfield then they operate the, 10:55, 11:55 and 12:55 from Sutton Coldfield back to Burton.
