Optare Solos & Dakota Duxford's DC3 Dakota made a nice backdrop to the collection of MK Metro and Optare products at the show. A standard livery MK Metro Solo can be seen alongside an unexpected entry, a Solo in North Beds livery.
 
MK Metro
The MK Metro Solo is in a special route branded livery for MK city service 8. Likewise, the Wright bodied DAF SB120 is in orange for route 5. The Solo is a recent acquisition from Weaverway of Newbury.
 
MK Metro
The two buses had synchronised destination blinds alternating between "SHOWBUS 2005" and their route destinations above.
 
MK Metro
The third "destination" related to the company's success winning the prize for the Best New Millennium bus.
 
The 300 field
MK Metro 61 (YG52CMU) arrives at SHOWBUS. The Wright bodied bus was appropriately new to Wright of Millport.
