‘Scene’ at the Bus & Coach show at the NEC in 2013 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The annual Bus & Coach show at the NEC has been cancelled for 2020 because of the Covid 19 Pandemic.

 

Regular readers/viewers of my blog will know that I would normally have published a number of blogs built round what was new in the 2020 show.

 

As I am not able to do so, I will fill the gaps created by re-running some of the highlights from previous shows.

 

Sometimes (but not always) a veteran bus from earlier years  puts in an appearance.

 

The 2013 show today, 2014 tomorrow.

Still in my view 7 years later one of the most iconic coach designs ever.

 

I have travelled on one of these vehicles owned by ‘Hawkes’ tours of Derby and it is as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

Now no longer in production mainly because  Mercedes-Benz ceased production of the chassis.
