On the previous page, behind Oxford Dart 503 was Olympian 240 - here is its rear end. Not really the way to treat such an impressive machine as a coach seated Olympian. Like 503, there were no signs of Arriva ownership on the morning of Saturday 16th December. But where could you put them? The legal lettering had been changed, of course.

 A rare site at the time in the days of Wycome Bus in West Street, Marlow was two deckers passing each other. Coming towards the camera is Alexander bodied Leyland Olympian 5832 (G232VWL) still in Wycombe Bus colours, but with Arriva fleetnames, on Bucks School Contract 902. Heading away from the camera is coach bodied Leyland Olympian 5822 (D822UTF), its coach lines obscured by an advert for the local radio station. The bus was new in Beeline yellow for Reading - London express services. |

Volvo B10B 622 (N622FJO) is seen on its regular haunt, the 329 to Reading. The bus is arriving a little late in Marlow as it edges its way through town congestion.

In contrast, 626 (N414NRG) is seen the following day arriving early in Marlow from the Reading direction. It is turning by Platts garage to the stop at Quoiting Square, the one time terminus for Marlow services. The bus then takes quite a detour avoiding the centre of Marlow, which Reading bound buses pass through. There are several Marlow stops which are only served by Wycombe bound vehicles!
