This years annual Showbus Rally was held on the 27th of September at Duxford in Cambridgeshire. The large number of buses at the show included both preserved and modern buses from around the UK and Europe. It is by far the largest bus show in the UK.

Ex-Dublin Bus Olympian, RH7 built in Belfast in 1990, attended the Show while on a 5 day tour of the UK, visiting North Wales, London and Ensignbus in Essex.

We are delighted to report that RH7, won 'Best Overseas Entry' at the show. Three years ago preserved coach, CVH4, a 1986 ex-Bus Eireann VanHool Acron won this same prize.

 RH7 was a surprise entry at Showbus 2009 and was well received by enthusiasts. Many were interested in RH7 as the majority of the ex-Dublin Bus Olympians now work in the UK.
