Crosville DVG265 (HTU154N) passed to Emblings of Guyhirn which built up a large fleet of Bristol VRs, primarily for contract work. The bus is seen at Millennium Showbus with preserved Hampshire Bus VR 3315 (GLJ467N).

On Thursday & Saturdays Motts Yellow Bus operation took a bus on an Oxfordshire County Council contract from Henley to Russells Water. The route climbed a steep hill from Stonor to Russells Water via Maidensgrove where former Crosville Willowbrook bodied Leyland Leopard ELL33 (DDM33X) is paused in what could easily pass for an "enchanted forest".

 From the enchantment of the forest the bus emerges in Russells Water at the top of the hill to be greeted by meadows and few trees. |

 Former DLB837 (XFM243), a 1956 Bristol LD6B originally ML831, is being used as a source of spares for other ex Crosville Lodekkas in the fleet of Green Bus of Rugeley, a company taken over by Midland Red in 1973.
