Astromega 50223 (OU59AUW) was displayed at SHOWBUS where it deservedly won the award for the Best Modern Vehicle. It follows a tradition, with a MAN/Jonckheere and Neoplan Skyliner both appearing when new. Tracking back to the early SHOWBUS days, Stagecoach Oxford's predecessor, South Midland, used to display their touring coaches at the rallies - typically Duple Commander IV bodied Bristol LHs!

Anunusual sight in Autumn 2010 was this Astromega, 50210 (OU59AFND) on the London Road in High Wycombe. The M40 east bound was closed due to an accident so traffic had been diverted on to the old A40 route.

SHOWBUS Tube 50223 (OU59AUW) is seen in central London in April 2011. In London it occasionally gets to rub shoulders with similar coaches bought at the same time - and subsequently - for Megabus duties. At the time of purchase Megabus also bought an even bigger batch for their US Megabus operations.
