So strikingly magnificent was this former Crosville open top Lodekka that I had to grab a photo of it
myself as it came in through Parking Reception. Fortunately it didn't arive with the 4-a-minute rush
earlier in the proceedings.

Making a nice pairing with Lodekka DLB978 (627HFM) is CMG434 (815XFM) an MW6G coach, both
sporting Crosville's distinctive cream and black colours.

In this line up, the Crosville MW on the left is seen next to
MW bus, Bristol OC 2522, and next to the K Bristol Greyhound MW 2148, then Eastern Counties LSX
prototype LL744, United Counties LWL 426 and an OB. Unfortunately the renegade OB - a substitute
entry for ECOC L5G LL711 - failed to check in at parking reception and would have been better grouped in the 400s!

Brighton, Hove & District's slightly eccentric
Tilling red and (lots of) cream liveried highbridge KSW, posed alongside lowbridge KSW 1407 of
Eastern National.

Slightly more modern Bristol/ECW products, Cardiff LHS 105
(LUH105P), now preserved, alongside ex Eastern National and now Hedingham, L114 (UVX7S). Two
other LHs were at the show: MK Metro's and Routemaster Travel's.
