The final location for the day was Lichfield Bus Station, where we got introduced to another new company - Midland Classic. I've been following them for ages now, and kept planning to visit their network and never got round to it. We also got to see some of the older National Express stuff here.
The bus station itself wasn't the most impressive, and is a very basic layout, with shelters giving me a 70s vibe, so maybe that's when this was designed? Of course, we also see more Chaserider stuff here, but not as much as our previous locations, with only three routes run by them.
As you'll see by the thumnail, a treat in the form of the Travel West Midlands heritage scheme ALX400 turns up right at the end! It was a nice end to a rather average location. Saying that, this episode has got to have the most variety of the series so far.

• Arriva Midlands
- a Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaro.
- a Scania K230UB/ OmniLink.

Another great video of buses!
Can't wait to get back to Lichfield tomorrow. Hopefully get my first chaserider photographs too!
Another Awesome Video Lucy :) Shame 4601 wasn't on the 10A aswell as that's in the Walsall Corporation Heritage Livery.
Also am glad you captured some of the elder tridents on the 10A as they may get withdrawn within a year or two plus a number of them got withdrawn in February and unfortunately my best trident 4367 was one of them :(
Honestly i noticed they were being withdrawn weirdly haha
Nice, if you do want to go to the West Midlands county, another good location to try is West Bromwich, plenty of good spots to film there. So I recommend that to you.
Have you also done Nottingham? You'll enjoy it there, also do Victoria bus station in Notts for routes that terminates there instead of going in the city.
Bulwell, Notts is another ideal spot as well
Cool! I live in Stafford, get the 828 to lichfield, then 12 midland classic/diamond to King's Bromley, to go to see my 99 year old Nan, then back to Lichfield on 12, then 828 or 826 back to Stafford
Where are the 3 locations you will be filming in Yorkshire?
