 Hillingdon Showbuses were a time for Alder Valley and Thames Valley buses to come together, particularly to pose for photos at the end of the weekend. Here K 446 is seen with Thames Valley LWL 616, one of the first three RELLs, a new VR and an Alder Valley liveried Loline.  |
 |
The merger of Thames Valley with Aldershot & District produced a fleet with Bristol Lodekkas and Dennis Lolines, the latter a product built under licence from Bristol as a Lodekka clone. Some Lolines found themselves relocated to Thames Valley depots. This one is the one seen above at a Hillindon Showbus, believed from Maidenhead depot, former Weymann bodied Aldershot & District 525 (AAA525C), then 852 in the Alder valley numbering.

 Loline 853 (AAA526C) is seen in service in the original A&D area. |
|
 Most vehicles in this shot are in NBC poppy red. The Loline on the left is Weymann bodied, but a Ribble red Alexander bodied one is also visible. On the right is a Park Royal bodied AEC Reliance in DP livery and a former performer on London services. Centre stage is a Metro-Cammell bodied Reliance, formerly A&D 539 (HHO539E), as AV 343. |
