The key reason for the impressive Lodge's display at SHOWBUS 2010 is revealed as new Setra S416GT-HD, JW10DGE arrives in a special gold livery to commemorate the company's ninetieth anniversary. The significance of the JW plate may be lost on some, but the traded for many years as J W Lodge & Sons.

Used on Lodge's bus services is this Optare Excel, V936VUB, used at Heathrow Airport by Meteor. Its former use probably explains the unusal destination display.

Also available for use of bus work was this Plaxton Beaver 2 bodied Mercedes O810D, R43GNW, new to MacPherson of Donisthorpe in the Midlands.

A few days after SHOWBUS in 2010, Lodge's arranged to take their new gold Setra and pose it at the Imperial War Museum with a Spitfire.
