Since the PSV Circle visit, Midland Classic Ltd. was taken over in August 2022 by Rotala plc and the name changed to Diamond Bus (East Midlands) Ltd.
The PSV Circle (of which I have been a member for some years) aims to hold an Annual General Meeting in a different location in the UK every year. (Covid permitting).
Usually held at a weekend, they also include visits to operators and other bus related venues for the attending members to visit and enjoy.
This year, the location was in my part of the world, the East Midlands.
This was the fourth visit of this the third day.
Regular readers and viewers will know of my liking for this operator.
They never disappoint.
The original ‘Tutbury Jinnie’ was a local railway service linking Burton on Trent with Tutbury.
Starting operation in 1848 it was initially very popular and at one time seeing eight trains each way per day.
Following many years of bus competition, it was eventually withdrawn in 1960.
For many years there has been a model railway shop in Tutbury called the ‘Tutbury Jinny’ (note the revised spelling).
