 Nearest the camera is another Plaxton President bodied Volvo B7TL SFZ5768, former London Sovereign 2717 (LN51AZA). As can be seen the bus is normally used on Nottingham High School runs. In the middle is one of several former Dublin Bus Alexander bodied Volvo Olympians in the fleet, T477JJF, former RV509 (99D509).

 No longer looking its best, 50532 is seen in the Red Rose Stone yard in May 2019 alongside Redline's similar X154FBB new to Durham Travel as VP154. Their use of the bus was shortlived, the company collapsed, probably over stretching itself financally and by distance trying to operate a London tendered service from Durham. The bus passed to East Thames Buses as VP5 with the Durham tendered route 185 and in 2009 it became part of the London General fleet when Go-Ahead acquired the East Thames Buses operation.
