The Plaxton Derwent 3000 was a bus body built by Plaxton. It was introduced in 1986, and is not related to the earlier Plaxton Derwent body which was built between 1962 and 1977. Around 250 were built, almost four times as many as its predecessor, the Plaxton Bustler, over a similar number of years. The Derwent 3000 was superseded by the Plaxton Verde from 1991.

| - The Plaxton Derwent 3000 was a bus body built by Plaxton. It was introduced in 1986, and is not related to the earlier Plaxton Derwent body which was built between 1962 and 1977. Around 250 were built, almost four times as many as its predecessor, the Plaxton Bustler, over a similar number of years. It was built mainly on mid-engined chassis, although a small number of Scania K93 rear-engined chassis were also bodied. The most common chassis was the Leyland Tiger, largely due to orders from the UK military for over a hundred, some of which were left-hand drive. Other chassis were the Volvo B10M (including short wheelbase examples); some of the last Bedford Y-Series to enter service; Dennis Javelin; and around fifteen secondhand Leyland Leopard chassis being rebodied. The Derwent 3000 was superseded by the Plaxton Verde from 1991.
