The Bristol RE series of buses were the last single deck vehicles to carry their manufactures famous name. The model first introduced in the 1960's was purchased in large numbers by the Tillings group, and became the standardised single deck type in many fleets. The most popular choice of bodywork was built by ECW (Eastern Coach Works) of Loftstoft. The early vehicles had a flat windscreen, which was later modified to incorporate a more stylish curved version; the vehicles were also available with either single or twin headlamps. The Bristol RE was replaced by the Leyland National in the early 1970's, however examples continued to operate with some of the larger operators into the early 1990's.Many of these hardy vehicles were also popular second hand choices with a number of independent operators who continued to use these vehicles well into the late 90's.

The model represents Stagecoach in Warwickshire 13650 (H627 LNA) in the Green Bus livery that formerly operated with Citybus in Hong Kong as its 160 (ET 1190). Although most of the former Citybus 11m coaches have served on the Megabus network, the arrival of new Neoplan coaches rendered some Olympians surplus to the requirements of the Megabus fleet, and toilets were not needed on these. 13650 initially served in Manchester on MagicBus routes before being transferred to Stagecoach in Warwickshire. 13650 is one of four that entered service on the Green Bus routes. The Green Transport Company runs bus services to schools in the UK using its Dutch-designed “The Green Bus” brand. Four ex-Hong Kong megadeckers are operated by Stagecoach in Warwickshire on behalf of The Green Transport Company, and are based at Leamington depot.

The BMMO, better known as Midland Red, was unique in that between 1923 and 1970 , it designed and constructed most of its own vehicles.One such was the C5 coach which was first introduced in 1958.This 37 seat coach was based on the Midland Red's S15 dual purpose bus, but the striking front and rear ends disguised this fact.Between December 1965 and July 1969 , 45 of the C5 class were modified at the company's Carlyle Rd.works, to render them suitable for bus work.The most obvious external difference, besides the all over red livery, was the inward opening passenger door which necessitated the shortening of the attractive wrap around bumper.
