 Seen in Thame High Street in August 2020 Oxford bound is Sapphire branded 3797 working out of Aylesbury depot. The 280 service is usually the preserve of doubledeck Enviros, and one can be seen outside the Town Hall, Aylesbury bound. Singledeckers often did the express shorts between Thame and Oxford. When Arriva withdrew from Aylesbury and High Wycombe in 2024, the 280 route was taken on by Redline who had been competing strongly on the route for some years.

 Former Arriva Merseyside SB200 3075 (MX61AWC) is also in Thame in July 2023 in the new livery as Shires 3816. Note the non sandard application of white squares at waist level on the rear.

 On Milton Keyne's Midsummer Boulevard that month was SB200 3869 (MX12KWY), not long repainted from Sapphire livery for MK route 6. It is seen on the X60 to Aylesbury via Buckingham, which is nothing like an express route. With operation from Milton Keynes it is one of the few Arriva routes into Aylesbury after the 2024 depot closures.
