Stagecoach East Kent GU52 WTJ at 'Showbus' Duxford - 28 Sep 2003

Sunday 28 September 2003 - Stagecoach East Kent exhibited their 53010 (GU52 WTJ) at the ‘Showbus’ rally at Duxford. It is a Plaxton Paragon Expressliner bodied Volvo B12M that carried the new style National Express livery introduced earlier in 2003. At that time National Express also started to phase out their different liveries settling for the one basic style livery although there were still some different identifiers used like ‘Shuttle’ that replaced the ‘Express Shuttle’ livery. There was also ‘Airport’ that collectively replaced barnds like Jetlink, Flightlink etc. The James Bond style service number 007 was a genuine service number used on the service from Dover to London since the beginning of National Travel in the early 1970s.
