DP32 (N832FLW) was one of several Centrewest DP-class Plaxton Pointer bodied
Darts which joined the ousting of the Renault RWs in even greater numbers from Slough. As with the DW class,
most vehicles retained their LT-style class designation letters with First Berkshire eventually embracing the system totally.

A string of Darts off load outside Slough Bus Station. Presumably
it is preferable to the gloom inside and gives passengers a glimpse of their goal - the shopping centre, the

pulled out to later venture inside the Bus Station.

Transferred from London Buslines where it was 56 (G56XLO) to the small BeeLine doubledeck fleet was this
Alexander bodied Olympian seen on the 191 Heathrow-Reading bus service in Slough on route via Bracknell.
It later joined the native Northern Counties Olympians in First livery at Eastern Counties, with First national number 34956.

The Olympians despatched east were replaced by Volvo variants despatched south from Glasgow. This is former Strathclyde VO75 (P175TGD), seen in Slough in 2001.
