On Thursday & Saturdays Motts Yellow Bus operation took a bus on an Oxfordshire County Council contract from Henley to Russells Water. The route climbed a steep hill from Stonor to Russells Water via Maidensgrove where former Crosville Willwbrook bodied Leyland Leopard ELL33 (DDM33X) is paused in what could easily pass for an "enchanted forest".

 From the enchantment of the forest the bus emerges in Russells Water at the top of the hill to be greeted by meadows and few trees. |

 A number of Leyland Leopards was acquired from various sources to operate Yellow Bus services as the network expanded. Leopard GGM96W is a former Alder Valley/Bee Line Willowbrook bodied example, once used on Londonlink services. It is seen here arriving for crew changeover at Stoke Mandeville bound for Aylesbury on the M1 service. |
|
An odd acquisition from South Yokshire PTE was one of their five Optare bodied Dennis Dominos, 52 (C52HDT). It was usually used on the rural services where speed and hill climbing were not issues as these were not its forte. It is seen here at Woburn Abbey being used as SHOWBUS Rally Control with key organiser, Martin Isles under the umbrella, with fellow helper Ed Goodridge, note SHOWBUS is displayed on the blind. The bus went on to serve Stevensons' Pacer subsidiary.
