Another source of Marshall bodied Dart SLFs was the Wycombe Bus operations of City of Oxford. A pair of a batch of vehicles delivered to Oxford had been transferred to Wycombe at the time of the sale. They were converted to single door as seen on 3833 (M503VJO) seen here having been transferred to Aylesbury on the 54 to Halton Camp.

Not long transferred from Oxford - as the fleetname suggests. Whilst the bus still sports Oxford insignia, the legal lettering - on a little blue sticker on the other side - says Arriva the Shires and it was seen two days after the takeover in December 2000. Dart 503 (M503VJO) is being followed by Olympian 242.

Acquired with the MK Metro operation of Julian Peddle was a number of UVG and Caetano bodied Dart SLF buses. Several finished their days at High Wycombe incuding this Caetano Nimbus bodied example, 3527 (W3CTS), seen in Castle Street in June 2014. The registration relates to its initial owner, Cheney of Banbury. |
The bus is seen on Sunday services in Banbury in 2000 when only seven months old.
|
When with MK Metro W3CTS put in an appearance at SHOWBUS 2004. The orange Caetano Compass Dart alongside is ex Limebourne (Independent Way) of Battersea and is carrying the registration - NDZ7918 - of a former Wright bodied London Buses Mercedes minibus, MW18. The orange bus also saw service with Connex. |
