One of the low driving position Paramount 3200 coaches with deep screen (from the 3500 model) about to leave Sir William Borlase's Grammar School in Marlow on a summer trip to Whipsnade Zoo. One of Motts Travel's Neoplan Skyliners is waiting behind to convey another party to London. The Chiltern Queens coach, B91SPR, is on a Volvo B10M chassis.
|
Completing the trio of Whipsnade bound coaches is E533PRU, new to Chiltern Queens and similar to B91SPR, and a Caetano bodied Volvo B10M behind.

Seen in Henley on the town service originally acquired under contract from Oxfordshire, which had previously been operated by Beeline, the routes had become a Chiltern Queens commercial proposition. This Alexander bodied Mercedes, in Chiltern Buses colours is one of the London MA class, acquired from nearby Wycombe Bus (then a subsidiary of City of Oxford and the Go-Ahead group). Identical vehicles of Wycombe Bus linked the towns, via Marlow on evening and Sunday workings. This one's age and identity is disguised by a recently acquired Northern Ireland registration.

Chiltern Queen's bus fleet has always been of interest and long worn this red and cream livery to distinguish it from the coach fleet. It has also been a tradition to use ex City of Oxford stock. Duple Dominant bodied Leyland Tiger EBW107Y joined many ex Oxford buses in the Chiltern Queens newly named bus fleet. It is seen here very close to the M40 at Wycombe on a Henley College afternoon contract.
|
A Plaxton Supreme IV bodied Leyladn Leopard, 2969HJ, in the Chiltern Buses fleet was a regular performer on services linked to Henley College. It is seen passing through Marlow. The coach was originally EBM443T And new to Frames in London.
