Leyland National 2 389 (GUW482W) is another transferred from London to Wycombe, but pulled in on the bay behind it is a fellow London National 2 in Shires livery, which The Shires acquired through Julian Peddle.

Another of the first batch of Alexander bodied Olympians transferred from Oxford 233 (G233VWL). It was a regular performer on the short working on the 239 from Wycombe to Marlow, returning to base on a school contract. It is seen here on the start of that journey on a snowy morning in Marlow.

Another Oxford refugee, but this time one which has kept its dual door status - and its Oxford area advertisement!

Early transfers from City of Oxford as Leyland National replacements were MCW Metroriders, rendered surplus to requirements in their home city. They were soon replaced by the London Mercedes.

After the little, the large! A unique vehicle was transferred form Oxford to Wycombe, 999 (PWL999W). This was a Leyland export demonstration model. It originally had full depth sliding windows and was refitted before entering service with Oxford on Park & Ride services. Other Olympians transferred to Wycombe were coverted from dual door, but this long wheel base bus had not yet been done. It was also unique at Wycombe in being highbridge - though it was later joined by some Leyland Titans. The vehicle has since been restored to Oxford fleetnames and presented to the Oxford Bus Museum.
