 The First Beeline fleet was not totally singledeck and a handful of ex Glasgow Olympians were used. Unusually two are seen here together in the new High Wycombe Bus Station in February 2007. They are both on the 74 service from Slough which competed with Arriva's identical route. The Olympian covered in yellow posters is the regular bus used and the posters promote the route - and in particular the ticket which gives inclusive use of all Slough Beeline services. Unfortunately the bus has failed and sister 34729 (P179TGD) has been sent to substitute.  |
 Arriving at SHOWBUS 2012 is former 605 (F176LBL), one of the lowheight Northern Counties bodied Leyland Olympians delievered to Beeline in Len Wright days. It passed to First Eastern Counties and ended up in their red and yellow scheme before gaining First corporate colours. Decals had been stripped form its lower panels when it appeared newly acquired for preservation at SHOWBUS. It was not known whether its preservationists wished to restore it to Beeline yellow and blue. |
 Former First London TN33144 (LR02LWZ) is seen in April 2011 back in central London - Earls Court - replacing a standard coach on Green Line 702 service to meet the extra demand to Legoland during the school holidays. |
 The same bus is seen in May 2012 with its prominent route branding appropriate to the task in hand in St Mary's Butts, Reading. |
