Southdown (Stagecoach South) Alexander-Dennis Trident ALX400 18510 (GX06DXH) is seen displayed at SHOWBUS with two very interesting Leyland Olympians. Alongside is Stagecoach East 14476 (D376NRS), new to Northern Scottish as their NLO76 and transferred south within the Stagecoach group. Even more interesting is 14000 (F110NES) new as Magicbus 1 in Glasgow. The bus is a 110-seat tri-axle decker which has spent many years with Stagecoach East after transfer. It appeared at Duxford for the first time back in 2001.

47341 (KX06TYK) is an Optare Solo in the former United Counties operating area actually in Stagecoah colours - as opposed to those in the Optare display in Corby Star and Connect Kettering branding.

A few East Lancs bodies have joined the Stagecoach group in recent years, none more so than with the acquisition of Lincolnshire Road Car. 16917 (FX05GXP) was new to Lincolnshire (917) in Coastal Connect yellow livery. Whilst the Volvo B7TL has acquired a Stagecoach liveried front end, yellow - in a different layout - adorns its sides as an advert for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
