Yes that was tge first bus i wanted to see (Premumably as i catch it regually on the 59). Do you know if it is booked out on the 59 tommorow?

Plus it was Route 6 branded 2077 that was initially entered not 2072? Could have sent 2013 due to its story of how it finally entered service ;)

I'd have liked to have seen something non Wolverhampton (and non shed) what with the hybrid already being there! Perhaps a newly refurbished Bordesley Omnilink might have done nicely or 4733 with its unique bumpers :P Still I am happy to hear NXWM and Central Buses both won awards today.

Maybe one of the new 13 plate E400's. Seem to be alot of other companys showing off their new purchases.

Noticed Diamonds 30941 at Showbus today which surprised me as i wasn't aware it was going.



Overall a very good day and i hope everyone epse who went had a good day too :)

It's a pity PE didn't send one of their 82x E200s (824/825 possibly?)

The Coventry Enviro was there don't forget :P Problem then is if everything was new it becomes like Bus and Coach Expo, it's always nice to have some moderately aged buses too just to prove it doesn't have to be new to look good :P I was disappointed with the turnout tbh expected a fair few more vehicles, still there's always next year!

Nath, 4894 was there don't forget ;)

Its a shame they didn't give any mention to 20 years of the volvo Olympian given that their 25th anniversary of the Dennis Dart only meant a display of E200s, still R317WVR looked a treat, the MCW Metrobus turn out was pretty good (bit of a relief given id lost photos of them so i win:D ) being my first time ive got nothing to compare it to, i did have fun, so did the wasps I reckon
