Bluebird Vehicles - Making Transport Accessible

10th October 2011

Bluebird exhibited their new Orion Plus 23 passenger low floor bus at this years show , and a newly restored 1929 Leyland Tiger TS2.

Both vehicles attracted a huge amount of interest, with the Orion Plus offering the possibility of reducing capital and running costs, and making some loss making routes economically viable. Fully accessible, the Orion Plus has a full length low flat floor, with no steps at the entrance or inside the vehicle.

The Bluebird stand was very busy throughout the show, and organisers reported visitor attendance up 6% on the previous show in 2009.

The Leyland Tiger has been restored by Bluebird apprentices with assistance and supervision from expreienced Bluebird coach builders. The Tiger is to take part in the Lord Mayors Show in London on Saturday 12th November.
