Midland Classic will be renamed Diamond Bus (East Midlands) and will presumably lose the yellow/red livery in favour of the usual Diamond Bus blue.

Rotala on form at the moment

It seems odd calling it Diamond Buses East Midlands when Staffordshire is not in the East Midlands region! I have the feeling that, especially if Rotala lose their Bolton operation through Greater Manchester franchising, they will buy Derby from Arriva, Wellglade or CentreBus, at least in the East Midlands.
