Formed along the trackbed of the former Burton to Tutbury branch railway. Hard to believe that this was once the site of a station (Stretton and Claymills).

Arriva Midlands 2009, a Dennis Dart/East Lancs EL2000 that began life with Midland Red North, arrives at the terminus of route 14 from Winshill via Burton town centre. At this time, local services around Burton and Swadlincote were mainly operated with step entrance Darts, several of which were from this batch that had originally been based in Shrewsbury and Cannock.

Bus on Church Road, Stretton
TrentBarton 941, a Dennis Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer 2 recently repainted into Villager livery, pauses outside St Mary's Church while working a V2 from Derby to Burton via Mickleover, Etwall, Egginton, and Stretton. The V2 has since been withdrawn, having been replaced by an increased frequency (and some mild diversions) to the less direct V1 route.
