 A representative selection of the Wycombe fleet. Firstly, one of the new Dart SLF/Pointers for the town services, which have arrived as a consequence of a partnership with Wycombe District Council to improve public transport in the town. This has seen the introduction of bus lanes and, for the Darts, special kerbing at bus stops to improve accessability. Alongside is one of the five Lynxes which were new to Beeline but were in Wycombe for some time, since transfer form Bracknell, they were regular performers on the 328/329 Reading services. Third in line is one of the Alexander bodied Olympians. |

This page is devoted to the Lynxes. Although there was a batch of five, 301-305 (F556-560NJM), no two were alike. Lynxes 302 and 303 boasted white paint down to waist level, in common with Oxford based singledeckers. Lynxes 303 and 304 had blue lines on the white at roof level - again an Oxford feature. Whereas Lynx 305 had a red radiator grill (and Leyland badge!). Lynx 302 had its offside fleetname on the first panel, but the fleetname can be found in at least two other positions on the other four. Some later acquired small fleetnames under the windscreen. Rear panels varied enormously with the position of registration plates, grills and fleet numbers, etc. Lynx 303, with extra white and blue bands is seen here after the tortuous diversion on the Reading service to call at Wycombe Sports Centre.
