Displaying at SHOWBUS for the first time was long established operator Crawley Luxury Coaches, whose coaches are a familiar site south of London. The Plaxton bodied Volvo B10M, DJI1664, is the only one left as it was one of three built for Glenton Tours and is only 11m long. Alongside is DC06CLC a 2006 Volvo B12M/Berkhof.

Making a splash at SHOWBUS were a pair of vehicles from a different fleet - school bus specialists Green Bus, based in Birmingham, but recently expanded into Reading. The buses concerned are Dennis Trident/Plaxton President 101 (PO51WNL) new to Pete's Travel and Volvo Olympian/Northern Counties 363 (R363LGH), former London General NV163.

Contrasting entries from Regal Busways of Chelmsford are a brand new Optare Solo, YJ60KBZ, and former Stagecoach Western Scottish 390, an Alexander Dash bodied Dennis Dart, now 512 (P390LPS) with Regal.

Another contrasting pair in contrasting liveries and both a contrast to Autocar's usual purple and white. Not having needed much of a repaint is former Transdev Yellow Buses Alexander bodied Volvo Citybus 210 (F210WRU) masquerading as "Autocar Student". Alongside is a new Alexander Dennis Enviro200, AC10BUS.
