The Arriva Original London Sightseeing contingent arriving at Parking Reception. Leading is the bus which was subsequently judged the best open topper at SHOWBUS, former Arriva London DLP7 (T207XBV), a Plaxton President bodied DAF DB250LF.

The trio parked up by the American Air Museum. In the centre is one of the recently withdrawn Alexander bodied Olympians, amongst the last step entrance buses in London service, delivered to London Buses as L334 (J334BSH).

The third bus is seen leaving the event and looking with the Johnsons Olympian for a chance to join teh jam of traffic heading for the M11 roundabout. There was no obvious reason why the traffic heading east this year was so bad. Rally Organiser, Martin Isles, in the yellow jacket is powerless to assist. The third bus is MCW Metroliner ML12 (A112KFX) once in the Shamrock & Rambler fleet. The former express coach, along with the other ex NBC Metroliners acquired for London sightseeing work, is about to be retired.

Traversing the country in the North East from Newcastle to Carlisle is Arriva North East's route 685. 1204 (R294KRG) is one of several Volvo B10Ms with Plaxton coachwork in this dedicated livery for the high profile route.

Fastrack is the new dedicated bus system using the Kent Thameside corridor around Dartford and Gravesend. Kent Council owned 3801 (GV06EVG) is a Volvo B7RLE with Wright Eclipse bodywork, alongside is a similar standard Scania L94UB from Arriva the Shires.
