It is now just over a year (August 3rd. 2022) since the takeover of ‘Midland Classic’ was completed by the ‘ROTALA’ group, rebranding the company ‘Diamond Bus (East Midlands) Ltd’.
On 09/08/2023 I posted a blog built around friend Peter Rose’s images of the fleet additions since that time.
All of course in ‘ROTALA’ blue.
This blog illustrates a return to BoT by both of us to look at some of what is left of the ‘Midland Classic’ fleet.
Will any of them ever be painted blue??
As we have done before, we have combined all the images we gathered on the day.
The credits being joint D.Basford/P.M.Rose.
