 One of Standerwick's amazing ECW bodied Bristol VRLLH6L coaches, 78 (PRN78K), was repainted in NATIONAL white, albeit with powder blue relief. It is seen here leaving Victoria Coach Station in the late seventies.

 Another of Standerwick's Bristol VRLLH6L coaches, 69 (OCK69K), in all over white is seen at the entrance to Victoria Coach Station with a National Travel South East Plaxton Panorama Elite bodied Bristol RELH6L, one of the six delivered in 1975, GJD194-199N.

 Only three MCW Metroliner 400GT were built and only one entered service with National Express and this is it at SHOWBUS international 2017. The 400GT was a 4m high facelifted version of the previous - and much more successful - DR130 model of which 127 were built. This coach entered service with Yorkshire Traction as 99 (E99AAK), later being re-registered HE8899 and repainted into Yorkshire Traction's Coachlink coach livery. It now lives on the Isle of Man at the Jurby Museum and was entered by Richard Cranmer who brought it over on the ferry, hence the appropriate Isle of Man MMN400G registration.

 Seen alongside preserved Travel West Midlands MCW Metrobus 3053 (F53XOF), 99 joined other MCW deckers on display. Interestingly the two other 400GT models served with Central Coachways, West Midlands coaching subsidiary on the London Liner express service.
