Carousel Metrobus M283 (BYX283V) is manfully climbing Marlow Hill out of High Wycombe
on the circuitous route to Marlow via Bourne End. The 400 route was originally
operated by Arriva the Shires and linked the Flackwell Heath college site with
Wycombe Town Centre at keys times during the day to suit the college. Carousel
took over the contract and extended the route through Flackwell Heath and on to
Bourne End and then back to Marlow.
|
 Near identical M524 (GYE524W) followed M283 up the hill shortly after catering for the peak morning flows to the college site, hence the shortworking to Flackwell Heath. |
With upper blinds already set for the 400, an unidentified Metrobus lurches
round the Handy Cross roundabout, ready to deposit students at the adjacent
grammar schools. The lower blind indicated the 900 series Bucks school service
it is on.

Whilst the collapse of a tunnel structure supporting a new Tesco store being built over the
Chiltern Trains rail line at Gerrards Cross was a major disaster, it was bonanza for Carousel.
Former London M1386 pulls into Wycombe Station on one of the many journeys required. Carousel
co-ordinated several operators involved in the extended operation in 2005.
