The former RW class Centrewest vehicles which helped
to oust unreliable and ancient London Country and Alder Valley Leyland Nationals from the Slough BeeLine
operation have not been without their critics. RW20 is seen in company with the vehicles which followed
into BeeLine from Centrewest which in turn ousted the Renaults - see below.

JDZ2378 is a Wright Handybus bodied Dennis Dart, one
of many which replaced the MA class Mercedes minibuses on Gold Arrow routes 28 and 31. It is one of
a number of DW class vehicles transferred to Slough and repainted in BeeLine's striking colours, which
do much to enhance their rather old fashioned look.

N832FLW is one of many DP class Plaxton Pointer bodied
Darts which helped the RW oustings in Slough. As with the DW class,
some vehicles retain their LT-style class designation letters, but some don't.

A string of Darts off load outside Slough Bus Station. Presumably
it is preferable to the gloom inside and gives passengers a glimpse of their goal - the shopping centre, the
other side of a fast dual carriageway! So fast in fact that a number of near misses was witnessed as buses
pulled out to later venture inside the Bus Station.
