 In 2016 it was High Wycombe depot's turn to receive Citaros, this time cascaded from Arriva Midlands. An early arrival was 3012 (BJ12YPX) seen working new town service 34 started after Carousel took over the Park & Ride and its location was moved to the new Wycombe hub. The 34 continues to serve the bits of Cressex that the Park & Ride now omits, though the 34 and Park & Ride follow each other around the time for large chunks of their routes.

 The Wycombe Citaros were to bolster the 800/850 Reading services following competition from Carousel Buses who started an X80 hourly service branded "Regatta Line" between the two towns with new wifi equipped Streetlites. Ironically the X80 takes longer to complete teh journey than Arriva's 800/850. Before arrival in Wycombe the Citaros were refurbished and are to a higher specification than the Aylesbury fleet with wifi and improved seating. Complete with MAX and route banding 3007 (BJ12YPR) is seen leaving Wycombe Bus Station on the 850 to Reading in September 2016.
