First Eastern Counties Volvo B10M Plaxton 41 - R841DVF
Back in 2000 at Millennium Showbus 41 (R841DVF) a Plaxton bodied Volvo B10M was showing off new Excel branding. Twenty years on and the Excel branding is still going strong on Eastern Counties express services linking Norwich, Peterborough, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Kings Lynn with a fleet of luxury Alexander Dennis Enviro400City doubledeckers entering service at the end of 2019.
 
 
First Eastern Counties Volvo B10M Plaxton 42 - R842DVF
A year later, sister vehicle 42 (R842DVF) appeared alongside the former Beeline ECW bodied Bristol VRTSL3 VR265 (CJH144V) new as Alder Valley 604 at High Wycombe.
 
 
First Eastern Counties Dennis Dart SLF Plaxton 678
This Dart SLF is sandwiched between two new Plaxton bodied Volvo B12M Excel branded coaches at SHOWBUS international 2002, the one on the right being 209 (AO02RDU), which was strictly speaking First BlueBus. The other is 208 which should have registration AO02RCY. However the Dart is more interesting as it was new in 1998 as a dual door bus to New World First Bus as 2013 (HV7180). It was repatriated and became Eastern Counties 678 (S678SNG), later acquiring national fleet number 42778 and transferring to First Western National where its air conditioning might have a better chance of appreciation.
