Dual purpose liveried 150 (150BRP) is seen in Great Kimble on the Icknield Way. The 365 was a partial replacement for the Aylesbury to Wycombe 80 service of Thames Valley which used to wend its way between the towns over the hills via hamlets and villages. The 365 only went as far as Princes Risborough and avoided any hill climbing. The section of the route was later served by Motts Travel under contract to Bucks County Council but now no longer has a bus service. |

"Lucky" United Counties was the recipient of some of NBC's order for lightweight Willowbrook bodied Bedfords. In this case YRQ 432 (PNV432M), accompanied by a sturdier Bristol RE with the rare T-indicator blind. UC also received some of the later Duple Dominant bodied Fords like preserved 59 (OVV59R). These lightweights ousted the Bristol MW ex-coaches and others from bus service duties. |
Here is one of those Duple bodied Fords, 54 (OVV54R) emrging from Aylesbury Bus Station. |
A new Leyland National for Aylesbury, 523 (SBD523R), parked in Buckingham Street opposite the United Counties' depot and Red Rover offices. |
