Former Park Royal DM1078 (GHV78N) is seen at Colnbrook. On the opposite side of the road is a new Red Rover Leyland Tiger Plaxton Supreme IV Express 150 (VUD150X).

London DMS2089 (KJD89P) seen in West Wycombe served in the Prestwood Travel fleet for many years in this rather muddy looking livery, which probably looked better when first applied by previous owner, Simmonds Coaches of Letchworth.
