This blog is a follow up to the one I posted on 09/09/2022 titled ‘Scene’ in Burton on Trent (BoT) again.
It is the combination of two separate visits on 08/09/2022 and 20/09/2022.

‘Midland Classic’ had this small heritage fleet that is regularly seen at rallies and sometimes in service.
The fact that none of them are carrying ‘DBEML’ fleet numbers would suggest to me that they were not part of the deal on takeover day.
From left to right they are,
798 UXA AEC Routemaster / Park Royal.
TOJ 592S MCW Metrobus Mk. 1.
FD52 GGV. DAF SB200 / Wright Commander
WDA 4T Leyland Titan / Park Royal.
HXI 3009 Leyland Lynx / Alexander (Belfast) N type.
TFA 13 Scania L94UB Wright Solar.

I hope I am wrong but where, I wonder, do they go next?
F96 PRE ‘Midland Classic ‘No. 96, Stevensons.
Leyland Olympian / Alexander RL

Although it was standing a little way from the lineup, I think that it is probably in the same boat as the buses in the lineup.
