 The new Wycombe Bus Station has capacity problems. The Olympian departing on the 328 for Reading arrived late to find its stand occupied. It chose to depart from elsewhere in the Bus Station leaving frustrated passengers behind. Back then they did have the choice of the 2 as far as Marlow, the rear end of their ex Armchair Olympian is visible. Note the digital destination display installed on the ex London decker. |

Former L166 (D166FYM), now 5854, is seen in the Grange School Coach Park in Aylesbury. The bus is on route to Thame and will pick up members of the general public in Aylesbury Bus Station and anywhere else on route to Thame. The photo was taken at the end of the Summer Term in 2006.

Another London Olympian, 5836, bears the registration of former London Routemaster, RM916 (WLT916). It is also leaving the Grange Coach Park in Aylesbury on that sunny summer day in 2006.

Arriva the Shires were favoured with Dennis Tridents rather than Volvo B7TL or DAF deckers. Several were acquired for the 37/38 services in Luton and 5422 (W422XKX) was displaced to High Wycombe when new Scania/Wright singldeckers took over the Luton routes. The Tridents transferred to Wycombe were the town's first low floor deckers. Alexander ALX400 bodied 5422 is seen descending Marlow Hill into the town after a morning school contract on January 12th 2006.
