An early Showbus with TJH672M, passing through Windsor Park on the Road Run to the Hillingdon Show. Rickards was a prominent supporter of Showbus in its early days. Unusually the Plaxton Elite body is on a Bedford chassis, the firm normally favouring AEC or Leyland.

Standard fare in later days became the Volvo B10M/Plaxton Premier, eg - A15FRX.
|
Performing standard tourist duties in London is A2FRX. Frames was taken over by Rickards and adopted the Frames Rickards fleetname, occupied Frames Brentford depot, but took on the distinctive Rickards livery without the Mercedes red relief. The livery clearly shows the Royal Warrant - Rickards having the responsibility for conveying the Royal Household staff - and Gray Line logos for their incoming tourist work.

Another change in vehicle policy saw Scania/Irizar Century coaches like A1FRX enter service in
2000.

 This Rickards Leyland Leopard is seen at Heathrow on the Railair Link service to Feltham Station with one of Alder Valley's similar Reading bound Railair coaches.
