Westbus was an operation founded near Heathrow by the Australian parent company. Vehicles use the Australian Westbus livery. The Australian operation was acquired by the National Express Group. Ironically the Australian operation shed its coach work whilst the London unit continued exclusively in this field. National Express subsequently disposed of its Australian Westbus operation to Comfort Del-Gro Cabcharge, owners of London's Metroline and Armchair and this included Westbus. Seen at speed on the A4 near Hammersmith is a Plaxton Cheetah bodied Mercedes Vario.

 Westbus G807BPG was new to Speedlink Airport Services, part of a batch of 17 Volvo B10Ms with Plaxton Paramount coachwork which wAS delivered when the operation was part of London Country (South West). The Heathrow-Gatwick Speedlink operation became part of National Express and so this coach was transferred to National Express subsidiary Westbus. It is seen on familiar turf outside Heathrow Terminal 3. |

Sister coach G807BPG is also seen prowling Heathrow's central area.
