In the Heyfordian's High Wycombe yard is 9945NE one of several ex Cardiff Alexander bodied Bristol VRs which were purchased for an exclusive contract service for Oxford Brookes University. The livery is that of the university. The contract used to belong to City of Oxford but was taken over by Motts as part of their Yellow Bus operation. It subsequently developed into the Brookes Bus operation.

This rear view of the three VRs, which were transferred to High Wycombe for school contracts is headed by 7034KW, formerly Cardiff 384. As can be seen, the Oxford Brookes lettering has been retained.

Though Motts relinquished their bus services to Oxford and Arriva, they retained contracts with Oxford Brookes and, in particular, the shuttle service between Oxford and Wheatley for the annual Midsummer Ball. Subcontracted for the 2000 ball were several Heyfordian vehicles including the then appropriately lettered VRs.
