Duxford's DC3 Dakota made a nice backdrop to the collection of MK Metro and Optare
products at the show. A standard livery MK Metro Solo can be seen alongside an unexpected
entry, a Solo in North Beds livery.

The MK Metro Solo is in a special route branded livery for MK city service 8. Likewise, the
Wright bodied DAF SB120 is in orange for route 5. The Solo is a recent acquisition from
Weaverway of Newbury.

The two buses had synchronised destination blinds alternating between "SHOWBUS 2005" and
their route destinations above.
|
  |
The third "destination" related to the company's success winning the prize for the
Best New Millennium bus.

  |
MK Metro 61 (YG52CMU) arrives at SHOWBUS. The Wright bodied bus was appropriately new to Wright
of Millport.
