The Wheatley to Oxford service via Forest Row has had a turbulent past, not helped by the inability of buses starting from Wheatley having to travel on the A40 to Headington before being able to U-turn and head back to Forest Hill. The service, once run by Charlton passed to Motts Travel's Yellow Bus division with certain journeys linking through to Aylesbury and this was perpetuated in part by Arriva the Shires running 260 services from Thame to Oxford, but not via Forest Row. Ex Oxford Espress Plaxton Paramount 3200 bodied Leyland Tiger A113MUD contrasted with low floor MAN buses then running into Oxford from Headington with Stagecoach Oxford.

This very smart Duple 340 bodied Leyland Tiger, NJI4304, took a while before entering service, but once overhauled it looked very smart indeed. It is seen on its first week in service on a private hire to Wycombe High School.

This smart little 21 seat Whittaker bodied Mercedes 609D, H37SAK, appeared to be operating the bus service into Oxford on the Wednesday after Christmas in 1999. A far cry from the ex London RT doubledeck buses once used.
