Languishing in the Rockleigh Tours yard in Diggers Rest in January 2013 was this former City of Oxford Northern Counties bodied Daimler Fleetline, which clearly had been active in the fleet at some stage. It is believed it has since been returned to serviceable condition.

 The rear of the Fleetline displayed the UK registration MJO891H. Sadly this does not match any Oxford bus, but MJO391H was City of Oxford's 391. |
 Quite how former City of Oxford Northern Counties bodied Daimler Fleetline 379 (KFC379G) was dragooned into becoming a Wales & the Marches mobile transport exhibition is unknown. The National Bus badge on the front panel suggests NBC involvement, and maybe its ultra low height - all Oxford buses ideally have to pass under the city's infamous Botley Road bridge - helped on its tour of designated area. The photo location is unnown, but the AEC Renown behind suggests that it might be back at the Cowley Road depot in Oxford rather than in Wales of the Marches.

 Following Go-Ahead's takeover of Hedingham Omnibuses this Alexander ALX400 bodied Dennis Trident joining the Essex fleet is a result of that. The Trident, now L417(T117DBW) has transferred from Oxford where it was used for many years in a bright green livery for the city's Park & Ride services. It also sports a new style Hedingham fleetname. It is seen arriving at the last Duxford SHOWBUS in 2014.

 At the since replaced Derby Bus Station, Weymann lowbridge Derby Leyland Atlantean 62 (WTH113) is loading on route 45, though the driver has yet to change the blind. It was new to James of Ammanford in 1960 as their 237, passing to South Wales the following year, when they acquired James, as their 1237 later joining City of Oxford as 206 before finally making it to Derby.
