An interesting mix of vehicles round the back of Slough's Brunel Bus Station. On the left is an Alder Valley ECW bodied RELL on the 22B to Eton Wick. On the right a London Country AEC Merlin (MBS418) on the Farnham Road 446 service and in the middle, a Bournemouth Corporation Willowbrook bodied Daimler Roadliner on hire to London Country.
 
London Country AEC Swift SM476 & Atlantean AN92
SM476 was an advert bus for the Bucks Advertiser. Both it and AN92 are seen at an early Hillingdon Showbus. The Atlantean is resting form its task of providing the free shuttle bus between the showground and Uxbridge Station - a number of semi-preserved RTs filling in while the driver takes a break. The RTs also acted as duplicates and sported L&M adverts along their sides. L&M provided the service for several years always requesting the same driver and making him a member of their 'Best Man For Life' club, which included a special tie and a mounted Dinky Toy model painted in the L&M advert colours. AN92 was one of the MCW bodied Atlanteans of the second batch.
 
RML2323 (CUV323C) is seen at North Weald in 2008 in the short lived London Country livery adopted as London Country started to form its own identity. London green had been shed in favour of this mid-green with yellow relief and the "bats wing" logo.
