 This early O814D, 503 (S503SRL) dates from 1999 and is seen parked at the Eden Project in May 2005. |
 Bowling along the highway to St Neots in 2005 is O810D 518 (S18RED) which came, with the convenient registration number, from Nuttalls of Pentwortham. A number of Vario/Beavers was acquired secondhand, particularly when European disabled access legislation was threatening the availability of the Vario/Beaver combination in the future. Western Greyhound had particular concerns too about the suitability of low floor buses in Cornwall's narrow lanes - where bus stops rarely had kerbs, let alone Kassel kerbs. |
 Eventually Western Greyhound embraced the more expensive and fuel thirsty low floor buses and a number of Optare Solos joined the fleet like 954 (YJ06FZL), which came from Wilsons of Rhu, seen here in Exeter Bus Station in August 2013. Picture ref A89. |

 Former 950 (MX05BRF) was new to Ace of Aintree as 702 but is seen in Plymouth with its new owener, Oakleys Coaches in July 2022. Prior to that it worked for Country Bus still in WG green,
