Seen later that month in Castle Street, High Wycombe, is 6283 (Y483UGC)m former DLA283. It has lost its tree defender for the front nearside upper deck windows, but the roof seems to have faired well in the leafy Chilterns. The buses are regulars on route 48 across the hills to Great Missenden and must encounter lots of foliage.

As can be seen in this Castle Street view that month former DLA302 (Y502UGC) retained its London white roof. Unfortunately 6302 had sustained mechanical failure on the morning school run to Great Misseneden, but was sorted out by the mechanic attending with the Ford Transit pickup and was abke to resume the service.

A nice sunny day at the start of the month for DLA302 picking up at the busy Oxford Street bus stop. The destination blind is working, but the refresh rate has been caught by the camera at just the wrong split second.
