 COVID impacted the launch of the Plaxton Panorama doubledeck bodied coaches on Volvo B11RLET chassis, a model designed for Stagecoach's Oxford Tube and Scottish express services. The B11RLET chassis was a model developed for sale in the South American market. The Oxford Tube service severely reduced through COVID restrictions and the full batch of Panoramas for the Tube was not delivered, several going direct to Scotland instead. This reversed previous practice where Tubes were sent to Scotland at the end of their service down south. Seen at Thornhill Park & Ride in July 2021 is 50434 (YX70LUZ).
