Received an e-mail earlier giving a few details of what happened today, and what is to happen over the next few days...


"Day One of Euro Bus Expo saw the show open and nearly 300 exhibitors present their latest products and services, with a number of exciting product launches from the likes of ADL, B.A.S.E, Higer, Minis to Midis, Scania, the Associated Moseley Companies and Wrightbus to name but a few. In all, there are over 100 vehicles worth over £20m to see at the show. We also had a number of dignitaries at the show, including the Transport Minister for Northern Ireland.

We also have had three stimulating seminars in the Masterclass Theatre, including an opening address on behalf of the IRU President by Leon Daniels, MD of Surface Transport at TfL. The Environmental Stage was equally busy, with four speakers including the launch of a report from Greener Journeys, entitled Driving Modal Shift from Car to Bus.

Tomorrow and Thursday will be equally busy on both platforms and we are also due visits by both the Secretary of State for Transport and the Minister for Transport on Wednesday and Thursday respectively."
