Maybe replace darts wich will end up at wednesfield or cannock, although cannock have already had a hanful of darts lately

I'd like to see the Versas replace the B6's at Tamworth

Can't see that happening.

Burton have 3769 (new spare - in normal livery) in use on the X38. 3767-8 are being branded.

[Bob]

Are they standard bus versions or high backed seats/leather like trent barton?

[derningtona]

Didn't notice anything special but wasn't looking inside. May be through Burton again on Friday on one of my Lichfield-Burton-Derby-Chesterfield jaunts and will check thoroughly if I am.

It looks to have high backed seats but can not be sure.

Also, is the X38 still ran by Burton, or is it ran by Derby, as I read it was going to Derby on the forum

Arriva runs the Burton end and Trent Barton the Derby end - two buses each which follow each other in pairs.
"Derby Bus Depot" enthusiast site was originally misunderstood - they have news from the whole of Derbyshire and beyond.

On the same Flickr site, the X38 Pulsars have now received branding, and have leather seats,and it is still operated from Burton garage

[derningtona]

Burton had branded 2985 still working the X38 today, together with new unbranded spare 3769, which does indeed have nice leather seats.
For some reason Trent Barton (who are usually good at it) have not been using branded buses on the route lately.

[derningtona]

Today branded 3767 and 3768 were working the X38 and unbranded spare 3769 was on the 9. The three previous X38 buses are still working from Burton. Nicely unbranded 2985 and 2986 were on the 8 and 3 respectively whilst unbranded former spare 2987 was on the 7. Cheers, Patrick.
