 Acquired in Imperial of Essex's livery, this Redline former Metroline MPD Dart was branded for route 21 in Milton Keynes. However in May 2014 during half term it was seen in High Wycombe Bus Station on the 321 route from Aylesbury. On school days the route is usually operated by a doubledecker, catering for students escaping secondary schools in Wycombe for the one in Princes Risborough. Ironically Y251NLK has since been repainted in Khan Red and branded for the 321. Though infrequent it is much quicker between the towns than the more roundabout 300 Arriva route. Later Arriva diverted one bus an hour as the X30 along the shorter route, leaving passengers on the 300 with a thirty minute gap in their hitherto fifteen minute service! In 2020 Redline upped their 321 to hourly and renumbered it 130. |
 Here is Y251NLK in its Khan Red livery in July 2017, complete with 321 route branding. It is however a long way from the route, seen in layover in Brackley High Street in Northamptonshire!

 Working an Aylesbury town service in August 2019 is Alexander Dennis Enviro200 YX09FMC, one of several such buses acquired for the trio of "Red" Aylesbury fleets which originated with First London, but came via Metroline. This was First DMS44402, later Metroline DES1696.

 Still in London red and bereft of fleetnames in October 2019 sister vehicle YX10BFZ is on another new Redline route, the 55, linking Aylesbury and Wendover directly. The bus was Metroline DE1811 and before that First London DML44157.
Picture ref C5379 |
 Also seen in October 2019 was YX61FZH, which was allocated to the Red Rose. It is seen in High Wycombe Bus Station on the 275 route to Oxford. Whilst the bus is still in London red with a fleetname on the front dash it has since received full fleet livery in metallic Khan Red and chrome yellow. The bus was new as First London DM44265, becoming Metroline DE1903. |
