 Another 2006 view of a Scania on the Reading-Marlow service. This time we have 3157 (N708EUR) in Oxford Road, Marlow, passing the United Reform Church. The bus, 3157, had the honour of being the fleet's Lakes advert, the company being a Thames Valley chain of electrical retail stores. |
 |
 Lakes advert 3157 again, this time on Wycombe town service 32. It is seen leaving the new Bus Station in June 2007. Clearly the Lakes advert has suffered some damage since the Marlow picture. |

 Two years on, in May 2009, and 3163 (N713EUR) is at work on the 32 near Cressex. |

 Earlier in February 2007 the Wycombe-Aylesbury service had been rebranded "line300" with 300 replacing the 323 and 324 service numbers. The 324 diversion via Little Kimble had been abandoned and all buses now travelled via Butlers Cross. Oddly this was reversed a few years later to speed up journeys. The daytime frequency had also been upped from thirty minutes to twenty. The publicity also announced new buses, which turned out to be the twelve year old Scanias, albeit refurbished and painted in Arriva's interurban livery as illustrated on 3157 (N707EUR) leaving Wycombe Bus Station for Aylesbury. |
|
 With the 100 to Milton Keynes (formerly X15), the 500 to Watford and now the 300 to Wycombe, one wondered how long before the 280 to Oxford became the line200 and the Chiltern Hundreds were complete, but the 280 remained for years to come, albeit as line280. This close up of the nearside of one of the line300 Scanias shows the discreet route branding. |
