Sadly missed by local enthusiasts in Staffordshire are the colourful yellow and black buses belonging to Stevenson's whose fleet size mushroomed towards the end at one time numbered over 250 buses, even larger than the traditional big local operator Midland Red North. The company became synonymous with the DMSFleetline purchasing a large quantity of them from London Transport. But the fleet was always wonderfully varied and also operated a large number of Leyland Leopard buses and coaches including No.18 with a Plaxton Derwent Body that came from Summerson of West Auckland in 1977 . Undoubtedly the star of the fleet in it's final years was the former Northern General RML Routemaster RCN 699 No.28.
