Following acquisition of Wycombe's bus services by Go-Ahead under its City of Oxford subsidiary, one of the London National 2 buses transferred from Go-Ahead's London fleets to Wycombe Buswas 391 (GUW458W), former LS458. The bus was converted to single door for use in the town until withdrawn in 2000 when it passed to Surrey Buses.

Wycombe Bus 389 (GUW482W) is another London Leyland National 2 transferred to Wycombe and converted to single door, but pulled in on the bay behind it is a fellow London National 2 in Shires livery. Withdrawn in 2000, 389 was sold to Thames Valley Police.

 Shires 3037 (GUW457W) is a former London Transport Leyland National 2, LS457, acquired shortly after Luton & District was acquired by British Bus to help modernise its fleet. Julian Peddle was called in to advise the company at the time and it is believed he was instrumental in the acquisition of the former capital vehicles which has been used by Parfitt's of Rhymney Bridge, a company acquired by Rhondda Bus, in which Julian had more than a financial interest. The Nationals headed east with former National Welsh Olympians. National 3037 is seen in Dunstable Square. |

Shires 3043 (GUW475W), former LS475, is seen in Wycombe Bus Station in another pairing with a fellow ex London Leyland National 2 transferred to Wycombe Bus from the Go-Ahead's London fleets.

 Seen in the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum at Lathalmond on their August 2014 Open Weekend is former LS366 (BYW366V). This was another to leave London for Parfitt's in 1992 and on to Chase in 1995. In 2007 it was bought by RML Travel of Burslem in Staffordshire, rapidly passing briefly to nearby Vals Classic Coaches and by July that year had crossed the border for use as a party bus by Chaplins Disco of Edinburgh. By 2013 it was with McGregor of Dunfermline for spares but turned up at the Museum that year. Picture ref A4748 |
