 Arriving at SHOWBUS international 2012 is preserved ECW bodied Bristol VRTSL3 684 (EAP984V). |
 |
 At work and heading for Midhurst is VRTSL3 587 (PUF587R). The Plaxton coaches in the background are probably Southdown Panoramas and the dual purpose liveried red Duple from Alder Valley.

 Another preserved Southdown VRTSL3 in NBC livery seen here arriving at the last SHOWBUS international at Duxford in 2014 is 275 (JWV275W). The bus has just passed through the airside gates and is about to head down the runway to enter the display arena.
Picture ref 14-0580 |
|
 Old Steine in Brighton and VRTSL6G 563 (NCD563M) is seen in an advertising livery for Old Holborn tobacco. Not something you would likely see advertised on a bus these days. The colours almost evoke images of tar stained upper deck bus roofs from the days when smoking was permitted on buses. The bus has grey window surrounds of the NBC era which followed on from cream ones dating back to Tilling days.

 Bristol VR 275 which is seen above arriving at SHOWBUS international 2014 also appeared at the previous event staged at Stratford-upon-Avon in 2013. It formed a mini VR display with Southern National Thomas Hardy, 934 (VDV134S) and East Yorkshire 526 (WKH526X). Picture ref A330 |
