Duxford Show bus: HK: B9 wright d/d, ex citybus161
Show bus at Duxford was held again this year. it was larger than before, with the usual mix of 'old' and 'new' buses. many stall holders were selling bus models, and, as usual, there were many models, and models for HK are very popular in the UK!No Eviro400 was sent to Duxford, although a prototype exists.
as far as Hk buses are concerned, there were two interesting items:
the first was a production line model of the B9TL volvo with wright body. here are nearside and offside views.
The chasis number is YB324H9245A105711 and body number is J628.
differences between the B9 and the B7- AVW class?????
Then, here is ex city bus 161 in the striking livery for school work in Rugby. there are 4 of those buses allocated to Stagecoach Rugby.

Yoram The ex citybus 161 looks very sharp and beautiful~
So it is used as a school bus? yes, it is used on route 882 twice a day, during school terms. it is also used on football specials route called 'X1' when Rugby is playing.
regards
Yoram A handfull of photos.

I will post link later for all photos from the day (uploading now!)
John For my opinion, I think the dashboard design on B9TL to let me have a little bit disappointed, becoz' there is nothing on the right side.....
By the way, the livery on the ex- CTB 161 looks so cool.......#:P#:P
