Arriving in the grounds of Woburn Abbey for SHOWBUS 2015 was Lodge's latest acquisition, a Duple Vega bodied Bedford SB13, EDD685C. The coach had been new to Princess Mary Coaches in Bristol in 1965, but spent many years with Fowlers of Holbeach Grove.

A second view of the SB on display in Woburn grounds. It is a shame that very few of these Duple bodied coaches have made it into preservation when they were so common place in the sixties.
