Negotiations are in hand for Midland Classic to take over Arriva's work in Burton, except for the Coalville/Leicester and Derby routes. MC had already applied for 20 additional discs and an OC at Wetmore Road.
This will of course mean Julian Peddle re-acquiring some services he previously sold to Arriva.

BURTON's main bus company is in talks to sell the majority of its operation in the town sparking fears that jobs could be under threat.
Bosses at Arriva have confirmed to the Mail that the company is talking to Midland Classic the other firm which supplies routes across the town - to sell the 'majority' of its Burton operation.
The news has provoked fears of job losses in the town as the Wetmore Road base is all but now in the hands of Midlands Classic after the Traffic Commissioner granted permission for it to add the depot to its portfolio.
However, Arriva area managing director Simon Mathieson told the Mail he was 'confident' no jobs were under threat.
He said: "We are currently in talks with Midland Classic about the potential sale of the majority of our Burton business to them.
