One of a pair of Northern Counties bodies Volvo B6 singledeckers bought new for the Yellow Bus fleet, but
passed a year later to The Shires with the Yellow Bus operation. They both dovetailed nicely with
the fleet of B6/NCME already in service with Shires, both are based at Wycombe and L922LJO has
found its way to Heathrow Airport on the joint Bee Line operation from Wycombe. Shires also has a
B6 is dedicated green/yellow livery for the service, but it somehow doesn't always make it!

But sometimes it does make it! 3126 (M726OMJ) is seen here in the later version of the Airport Link
livery, emphasising the connections between Heathrow and Slough as the joint 74 service to Wycombe
interlinks with First Beeline's 75 to Maidenhead via Slough. 3126 is seen here in Farnham Road, Slough.

3105 (L305HPP) is the first of the batch of Northern
Counties bodied Volvo B6s, it is seen in company with a fellow member of the batch in Stevenage,
though that vehicle has acquired Arriva livery.

MK Metro Mercedes Vario/Plaxton Beaver 2 116 (R116DNV) outside MK hospital, is overtaken by
a Scania L113CRL with Northern Counties Paladin bodywork on Aylesbury & The Vale's X15
service. This long established express route used to operate from MK to Reading via Aylesbury
and High Wycombe and was jointly operated by Luton & District and Wycombe Bus. The route has
been truncated at Aylesbury recently.
