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 The Derwent 3000 was superseded by the Plaxton Verde from 1991.
