The Oxford fleet has long been plagued by lowbridges, restricting the operation of doubledeckers to lowbridge or, later, lowheight variants. Being an AEC fan, the Bridgemaster and Renown proved popular - particularly the latter. Most had Park Royal bodies, but the last small batch delivered in 1967 were bodied by Northern Counties, who were to body the lowheight Fleetlines which followed. Renown 371 (FWL371E) operated in NBC livery, as the photo shows. The bus is also seen on the Showbus 78 Road Run at Langley.

 Outstationed with United Counties in Aylesbury was a solitary Northern Counties bodied Daimler Fleetline for use on the 262 town service to Walton Court North. The bus did a school run either side of the town service and was safely back in the depot by 6pm - or sooner. Sundays was a day of rest. Hence it was always tucked in the dark corner, and is seen alongside an early flat fronted United Counties ECW bodied Bristol VRTSL6G. |
