 Proprietor of Woottens, Michael Wootten, is a real bus enthusiast as evidenced by the fleet of buses used on school contracts, his support of SHOWBUS and the semi-preservation of this ex Colchester Bristol RELL with ECW body. It has been painted in a pseudo Woottens livery and is seen arriving at SHOWBUS 2009.

 Here SWC24K is parked up at the SHOWBUS 2008 Bristol RE display with examples from Hants & Dorset, 3048 (UEL564J) and North Western 382 (SJA382K).

 Seen at SHOWBUS 2007, former TWM Lynx 3066 (C66HOM) abandoned Britain's second city for a spell in the Chiltern Hills with Woottens. |

 At SHOWBUS 2008 a former Strathtay vehicle was this East Lancs Mylennium rebodied Leyland Tiger just acquired for Wootten's Tiger Line. The bus, THL290Y, was new with an Alexander AT body for West Riding. This bus may not have a tiger in the tank, but it does have one behind the steering wheel! Several such buses were acquired from Strathtay to launch a new bus service from Chesham to Aylesbury, resurrecting an old London Transport country area route from many years back. The venture was not a huge success, which is probably why it was abandoned originally. A second route to Watford proved more successful. |  |
 Seen in the dying days of Wootten's Tiger Line operation is one of its last acquisitions, former Ulsterbus 1375, Leyland Tiger/Alexander W66 (UXI1375). It is in Oxford Road, High Wycombe on route T3 in July 2011, a service to Princes Risborough, which formed part of a contract linked to school transport in Risborough. Other commercial Tiger Bus services linking Aylesbury, Chesham and Watford had ceased at this point. |
