A batch of Wallace Arnold coaches was acquired for the 390 service via Henley and operated for a while in WA cream with Thames scene murals and route information. They later donned conventional Tube livery and duties, and were joined by similar machines from Midland Red South, albeit with the new gold relief, rather than grey. This is 11 (H640UWR), one of four from Wallace Arnold, it was later sold to Hanson Buses of Lye.

Perhaps the most conventional of the foreign style coaches on the Oxford Tube were the Jonckheere bodied Volvo B10M, 1 (L723JUD) is seen leaving the city for London.

Following on from the Jonckheeres came a batch of Berkhof Excellence bodied Volvo B10M coaches, and three are seen arriving at Gloucester Green on a busy return commuter run from the capital, pinpointing the need for doubledeckers. In the lead is 16 (M104XBW).

 Seen departing Gloucester Green for London is 10 (PYV277), a reregistered Leyland Tiger with Plaxton Paramount 3200 coachwork, fitted with the lower driving position and the deep screen from the higher 3500 series model. The coach was one of a pair ordered by Yelloway but delivered here as 10 (C128KJO) and 11 (C129KJO), The white liveryy is believed to be as a result of use on National Holidays work, with some time spent with Greenslades. Tiger 10 left to join the fleet of Ellie Rose Travel and was later preserved in the north east. Note one of City of Oxford's contemporary MCW Metroliners in the background. |
