 At SHOWBUS 2007 another former MCW Metrobus demonstrator, 80 (TOJ592S). It is seen alongside a West Midlands Metrobus, 6832 (SDA832S) and is bearing Midland Classic fleetnames, a company then part of former Stevensons owner, Julian Peddle's bus interests. |
 Arriving at Woburn Abbey for SHOWBUS international 2015 is another Midland Classic bus painted in Stevenson's heritage livery. The East Lancs Omnidekka bodied Scania N94UD was new to London Sovereign as SLE5 (YN04OAG) in 2004. It is now Midland Classic 55 with the registration, TFA13, an old Burton-upon-Trent registratin mark, but not one used on a bus before.

Looking less like a Stevenson bus is this standard ECW bodied Olympian 1923 (B203DTU) on the lucrative 112 service between Burton and Birmingham, for which the company bought its Optare Spectras (which were despatched to Midland Fox when Arriva took over the business). Soon turquoise washed away the yellow so long associated with the firm even in this diluted form based on Midland Red North's final livery before it too was subsumed in Arriva's corporate livery. The Olympian was new to Crosville as EOG203.
