 In August 2019 Solo 2451 (YJ08XDK) is seen on the 9 in Walton Court, it too started life in Milton Keynes.

 In High Wycombe's Frogmoor bound to Aylesbury on the 300 in September 2019 was Solo 2493 (YJ57EJD). Competition from Redline on the Wycombe-Aylesbury service was intense and passengers were deserting the 300 for the faster and more frequent 130 via Sauderton rather than Naphill. A small Solo matched the dwindling passenger numbers! When Arriva closed Aylesbury and High Wycombe deots in 2024 Redline had the route to themselves.

 Leaving the town centre on the 9 for Stoke Mandeville Hospital in November 2021 is Solo 2495 (YJ57XWH) followed by a Red Eagle Dart.
Picture ref C8703 |
 Wycombe based Versa 2958 (YJ11OKC) seen on the edge of Cookham village in May 2024 is another to have gone for a Burton with the closure of Wycombe depot two months later. As the bus was new to Burton, that is quite appropriate! The 7 service used to be the 37 and was renumbered by Arriva in a last ditch exercise to revamp the Wycombe services. When Carousel took on most ot the Wycombe services it promptly reverted to the 37 and the service has been strengthened To be fair to Arriva they had plans to boost the route when roadworks in the area involving some lengthy diversions were finished, which would have afforded better connections to the new Elizabeth Line at Maidenhead Staion.
