History

Midland Classic was founded in 2005 by James Boddice with a pair of London Central AEC Routemasters operating charter services. It later diversified into operating route services. In April 2016, Midland Classic entered talks with Arriva Midlands to purchase the latter's Burton upon Trent garage.[3][4] The deal took effect on 27 August 2016 with 30 buses and 80 staff transferring.[5]

It operates services in Burton upon Trent and Lichfield.[6]
