 Red Rose Travel of Aylesbury are a long time supporter of SHOWBUS and provide buses to promote the event during the year and on the Showbus weekend. Their service van is used from Thursday evening to transport helpers to the event and deliver the stored rally paraphernalia to Duxford, which includes banners, the pa system and all those little yellow blocks which mark out the display areas. |
 In recent years Ensignbus has extended its support to SHOWBUS by providing one of its many open-toppers from its worldwide City Sightseeing fleet for use as SHOWBUS Rally Control. Former London MCW Metrobus M633 (KYX633X) is the regular choice. The bus is believed to have been used on the former Harrods London Tour and as such has some useful table arrangements in the sheltered part of the top deck and a small kitchenette area downstairs. The bus is seen on the Saturday as the whole site is being prepared for SHOWBUS. |
