I've always like the Dudley's livery, but I wish they'd put Dudley's on the sides and the vehicle's name above the screen, it always looks odd to me the way they do it

Very glad to see a Grey-Green B10M re-body preserved. It represents a point in transport history noted for its upheaval and new thinking, not to mention it being a great bus.
Re: Showbus 29 Sep. 2019 Pt. five
Bus Lists on the Web shows at least 14 coach bodied B10M built in 1985 being rebodied by East Lancs in 1992, some with single-deck and others with double-deck bodies as illustrated. I wonder what happened to the Plaxton coach bodies; it seems a waste of good structures that were less than 7 years old, especially when similar coaches ran for more than 20 years in front line service!Severnside wrote: ↑15:50 Friday 4th October 2019Very glad to see a Grey-Green B10M re-body preserved.
