 On a lovely day in July 2014 former EYMS 660 (N660BRH) and Finglands took a party of international students, attending English study schools at Oxford University, for a trip to Harry Potter World at Watford (which Warner Brothers market as London!) Picture ref A4004 |

 Former Trent Alexander bodied Volvo Citybus 610 (F610GVO) was acquired by Finglands, but lost its roof to enjoy a retirement with East Yorkshire on Scarborough sea front. The bus had been christened Willy and gained a big stripey bow tie and was an advert for Willy's Fish and Chip Shop. The picture was taken early in the 2007 season in April. |
 Seen hiding in Bullocks depot in April 2022 was this Plaxton bodied Volvo B12M, YR52MDZ. When Finglands was broken up and sold at the end of 2013 and into early 2014, the bus operations passed to First Manchester and the coach operations to Bullocks.

 English language study schools are big business in Oxford. When the regular students are on summer holidays the university residences are stacked out with international students learning English for a few weeks. Big business for bus companies meeting groups at airports and transferring them to Oxford and at the weekends there is a break from study and students can enjoy excursions to popular tourist destinations. London is an obvious day trip, but Brighton, Cambridge, Stonehenge with Bath or Bournemouth are amongst the trips on offer. Here Plaxton Panther bodied Volvo B10M Y372KNB of Charlton Services, which had been new to Finglands, awaits with several other coaches for its day trippers in July 2012. |
