 In August 2017 Volvo B9R MD8 (FJ11GJV) was up for sale at Bus and Coach Live, which took place of the Nottingham County Showground at Newark. Alongside is tri-axle Scania K340EB MIG9438, converted to a 90 seat wheelchair accessible coach. It was snapped up by Barnetts Coaches of Hemel Hempstead, which together with a new Irizar i6 earned them the Premier Operator Award at SHOWBUS international 2018 at Donington.

 New to de Courcey as 521, this Caetano Nimbus bodied Dennis Dart SLF 75 (HV52WTC), seen in Reading in May 2010, was acquired by Fleet Buzz. The entire Fleet Buzz operation was sold to Stagecoach South in December the following year. The Dart became 33325 with its new owner, but was later sold on to Newbury Buses where it became 601 and subsequently became 453 with Stephensons of Essex. |
 Another former de Courcey Caetano bodied Dart, 523, became Stagecoach South 33326 (HV52WTE), which was Fleet Buzz 76. It is seen heading into Reading in July 2013. It appears to have passed direct to Stephensons to join HV52WTC. |
 Two Darts together in the Aylesbury yard of Redline: on the right is a Wright Handybus bodied Dennis Dart that was new as Rhondda Buses as 65 (M65HHB). Alongside is a Marshall Capital bodied Dart SLF, IDZ3504. This Dart was new to de Courcey, passing to Huntingdon Cavalier which was taken over and became Stagecoach in the Fens. Before joining Redline it spent a brief spell in Yorkshire with Stephenson's of Easingwold. |
 Former 576 (YJ62FPK) is seen arriving at SHOWBUS international 2017. The Optare Versa was a new acquisition by High Peak as their 780 and was branded for the Peaks & Dales service 65.
