L556 (H556GKX) is one of several all Leyland Olympians Carousel of High Wycombe acquired fom Armchair. This bus was painted in Thames Valley livery to commemorate the deceased local operator. This early morning shot has the bus in Marlow on a Bucks school run to Wycombe (service 922).

L556 is seen again in May 2004 on the 400 service at Wycombe's Handy Cross Sports Centre.

L554 (H554GKX) arrives at Heathrow Central Bus Station in July on the newly launched A40 service along the A40 trunk road from High Wycombe to Uxbridge and hence to Heathrow. The service replaced, in part, the withdrawn facility provided via Slough to the airport on the joint Arriva/Beeline 74 route. The A40 route was initially worked by the Carousel Olympian fleet supplemented by the odd Lynx and - it is thought - Metrobus before giving way to new route branded Citaros.

Newly painted from Armchair's orange and white livery into Carousel red is this all Leyland Olympian on the 400, heading from High Wycombe's Handy Cross for Bourne End. The 'KX' registrations of these buses are now appropriately 'at home' in Buckinghamshire.
