Oxford Tube ex WA Volvo
A batch of Wallace Arnold coaches was acquired for the 390 service via Henley and operated for a while in WA cream with Thames scene murals and route information. They later donned conventional Tube livery and duties and were joined by similar machines from Midland Red South, albeit with the new gold relief, rather than grey.
