The Blunderbus, Lambeth's brand new playbus that Motts acquired in Yellow Bus
days with virtually no mileage when it was about 5 years old. Motts fitted it
out themselves with parts from Northern Counties. It was one of the last bodies built by them
in the Manchester style, the Olympian chassis was an unusual engine gearbox
combination. It is thought Lambeth paid over list price for not having the
usual internal fixtures, sometimes you can just see them coming! The bus passed
to Arriva with most of the Yellow Bus fleet and was one of the last buses
painted from Shires to Arriva livery. |

One of the two Northern Counties bodies Volvo B6s 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 had a
B6 is dedicated green/yellow livery for the service, but it somehow didn't always make it on to the 74!
