Contrasting again, but this time in terms of capacity, is G652FVX, a 1989 Dennis Dragon with
Duple Metsec bodywork also at the 2002 SHOWBUS. Cedar Coaches has always had large capacity doubledeckers in its
fleet for school work, but ex Hong Kong triaxle doubledecks provide the ultimate in capacity
for school contract work. The yellow livery reflects its school role.

Edinburgh Olympians are proving popular secondhand purchases on the school bus circuit. Former
707 (A707YFS) is seen at EFE SHOWBUS International 2001 in the recent care of Cedars of
Bedford, where it appears to have acquired fleet number 1.

A707YFS appeared again in 2002 where it joined the line up of Scottish vehicles.

One or two people may have been wondering what Cedar Coaches ex-Scottish decker
was doing parked up with two Eastbourne buses: the vintage Lion and an Ikarus
bodied coach. Ever mindful of photo opportunities, the late entry of the Cedar
exhibit enabled us to pull off Leyland Lions from different generations to pose
side by side.

The beautifully preserved Lion won the Doyen singledeck award at SHOWBUS.
