At the foot of Marlow Hill in June 2012 is former EVL33 (PN02XCT), no longer an EVL as Carousel Buses fleetnumbers were integrated into the Oxford scheme on acquisition by Go-Ahead. It has become 922 in the series reserved for Oxford buses that are unable to get under the Oxford Station rail bridge on the Botley Road out of the city. |
Several changes befell Carousel on take over by Go-Ahead: fleet numbering, route changes and vehicles. Ousting the MCW Metrobuses, older Olympians and Ailsas from school contracts were a batch of Northern Counties Volvo Olympians painted in a blue livery. The colour possibly a hangover from the former West Midlands Metrobuses lettered for the Carousel Contract Fleet on their TWM blue livery. The buses have since acquired school insignia and quotes like "E=mc2" to denote their new roll. Carousel 928 (R267LGH), former London Central NV67, is seen at the foot of Marlow Hill in June 2012. |
Carousel 931 (R287LGH) awaits school children outside Wycombe High School towards the end of the 2012 Summer Term. It was London Central NV87. |
