 One of the star attractions at EFE SHOWBUS International 2004 was First Mercedes Citaro fuel cell powered ESO64993 (LK53MBV). Open top Routemaster RM120 (now registered SSL809) was parked alongside to enable visitors to view the roof mounted fuel cell technology. The bus is one of three in use by First in London and one of a trial fleet funded by Brussels in use in cities throughout Europe. To the left of the Citaro is the former Westcliffe-on-Sea Bristol K/ECW 825 (AJN825) making a welcome return to SHOWBUS after suffering fire damage a few years ago. First Essex care for this heritage vehicle. |
 Southend 244 (FOP429), new in 1945 to Birmingham Corporation has had a chequered history: It was acquired by Canvey & District in 1949, passing to Westcliff-on-Sea and in turn to Eastern National as the various undertakings were taken over. It was bought by Southend in 1955 and converted to open-top in 1956, it continued in service until 1970 and is now preserved at the Castle Point Transport Museum. It is seen here at North Weald in 2007. |
