 Motts Travel of Aylesbury's three Neoplan Skyliners lined up at the old Stoke Mandeville depot. Nearest the camera is the fully seated, ex Trathens, model, B12MMT. The other two are configured with bunks and other luxury facilities as band buses for touring pop groups. |

 Also used for band work was this Jonckheere bodied Volvo B10M, 6247MT, not looking any different from the more standard Jonckheere B10M coaches in the fleet. The coach is seen at Showbus 96, where it was on loan to the rally team for the weekend. |

This Van Hool bodied B10M proved very popular with tour groups because of its huge luggage locker amidships - plus the rear lounges on both decks and ample bunk provision. The on board music and video facilities were great too and were much appreciated by the Showbus crew at the 97 rally, when the vehicle was loaned for their use for the weekend. It is seen here resting between
gigs at the Stoke Mandeville depot.

Volvo 5705MT is seen performing one of its last functions before leaving the fleet at the end of the century. It is seen in High Wycombe being loaded for departure to Showbus 1999, where it performed a vital role as a support vehicle for the event. Its departure from the fleet also saw Motts Travel depart from the pop scene - the Van Hool bodied B10MT was the last of the Motts band buses.
