Seen at the 2002 EFE SHOWBUS is Northampton's 246 (BNH246C) the classic Daimler CVG6/Roe which was the mainstay of the fleet for so many years. |
Leading the way in modern bus operation, Northampton Transport put into service a fleet of gas powered vehicles: Northampton 501 (P501MVV) is a low floor Volvo B10L with Alexander Ultra body. The fuel is stored within the roof space, 501 had made its way to Showbus 97 under its own power, shortly after entering service in Northampton. The service was launched by Transport Minister, Glenda Jackson.

This little picture gives some idea of 'standard' Northampton in the late 1990s. There was a sizeable fleet of Volvo Citybus D10M underfloor engined doubledeckers, with Alexander bodywork, gathered over recent years and a batch of B10M Duple 300 bus bodied singledeckers - plus the B10L/Alexander gas fleet. These and non-standard types are featured in these pages.
