D H Harrod has become a Showbus favourite with their smart fleet. N14DHH a Plaxton bodied Irisbus Eurorider leads this year's fleet entries into the Museum.

Dews provided a trio of interesting vehicles this year: their trusted OB/Duple CUT465, newly refurbished and repainted "The Black Prince", a Leyland Titan/East Lancs once with Black Prince of Morley, but originally Ramsbottom 8 (FTF702F) and recently acquired Dart SLF/Pointer appropriately registered BUS 2 ELY (BU52 ELY) also from the north west being ex Stones of Leigh and originally B1JYM.

The regular Leicester contingent was minus the rare preserved singledeck Metro-Scania 225 (ARY225K) which had suffered a mechanical failure before the event, but gained newly preserved Dennis Dominator/East Lancs 100 (C100UBC).
