Winner of the best Transbus International award at EFE SHOWBUS International
2003 was Metrobus' Transbus Dart/Pointer 213 (SN03WMF). The bus is in Metrobus'
new 'more red' London livery. Perhaps 'Uncle Ken' is making a political statement?

Greater freedom of choice has resulted in this striking silver and blue colour scheme for the new Scania Omnicity fleet on the Gatwick - Crawley Phase 1 Fastway services. The vehicle, 532 (YN03UWY) won the prize for the best bus of the New Millennium at the event. |

Latest recuit to the Go-Ahead empire, and expanding its presence in the south of England, is the hitherto independent Wilts & Dorset Motor Services. A regular SHOWBUS participant, its presence this year was represented by the Van Hool bodied DAF coach in W&D colours. W&D operate similar vehicles on behalf of National Express. |

The link with the pictures above is a little tenuous, but the sister vehicles to this former London Spectra have moved from the London Go-Ahead fleet to work in and around Newcastle. One wonders how long it will be before they join the largest UK Spectra fleet, recently taken into Go-Ahead ownership: Wilts & Dorset. SP2, as was, escaped London for the west country before Go-Ahead appeared on the London scene and the bus is now one of the few deckers in the MK Metro fleet. |
