For a first time entrant, Step 1 Travel of Horncastle did not do things by halves: they brought along their entire fleet. Most of the fleet comprises Mercedes minibuses of various sizes, seen here arriving at SHOWBUS and led by 2 (FX54GZW), a 15 seat Sprinter 311CDI.
 
Step 1 Travel
Seen later parked together on display, the two full size coaches in the fleet are DAF SB3000 Van Hools, 7 (F1PMH) and 9 (F9PMH).
 
London Dial-A-Ride 7077 (YX09ETO) is one of the latest additions to the fleet. The bus has a body by Bluebird, but is believed to be based on Volkswagen running units.
 
Midland Classic Optare MetroRider
From Staffordshire's Midland Classic fleet is this Optare MetroRider which was new to Jones' Shamrock fleet in Pontypridd.
 
Red Line Mercedes Vario Plaxton
The Aylesbury based Red Line fleet has expanded considerably of late. This ex East Yorkshire Mercedes Vario/Beaver 2 substituted at the last minute for an ex Armchair all Leyland Olympian, which should have been in the BUSES60 display for 1991. Parking Reception was able to make a last minute substitution and locate the Merc in the minibus area.
