The view from the top of Rally Control shows the huge crowds thronging the trade area in the afternoon.
 

St John's Ambulance entered into the spirit of the occasion this year. The ex Walls of Manchester Optare Delta Ambulance is believed to have been borrowed from the Ealing division.
 

Another Delta not far away was Ensignbus 606 (G506XBL) branded for their X80 Express Service to Bluewater. The bus was originally Reading Buses 506.

The view from SHOWBUS Control south took in the Go-Ahead contingent, a Hong Kong decker, late entry from Ensignbus, and an ex Hedingham Tiger, which should have gone down the east end of the site with the rest of the Hedingham contingent, but was having mechanical problems and laid up as seen.
 

Ensignbus 448, an ex New World First Bus Dennis Condor Duple Metsec formerly DA17 (EV2009) and now registered in the UK as H648PVW. The bus had the honour of bringing Ensignbus owner Peter Newman to the event.
