New as Speedlink V21 (M721KPD), this relatively elderly Volvo B10M/Plaxton Premier 350 had been painted in the new National Express livery when seen at Heathrow in February 2005.

National Express 17 (P70SAS) is another coach new to Speedlink, however this is a DAF SB3000, also seen in February 2005 at Heathrow, and in this case bound for Norwich. The coachwork is Plaxton Premier 350. The SAS registration dates back to the days of Speedlink Air Services, which prior to that was the coach division of London Country (South West). |

The Surrey registration, like V21 above, gives away the Speedlink origins of another DAF SB3000, D25 (R500SPK) on the 757 linking Oxford and Cambridge via High Wycombe, Hemel Hempstead and Stansted. This shot in Bucks in May 2005 sees the coach working on a run just to Stansted. The route number was changed in 2006 to 737 and Scania Irizar PB2000s became the more common site on the run.

Oxford bound at Hemel Hempstead Bus Station in July 2005 is former Cambridge Coach Services 320 (S320VNM), also on the 757. The coach is a Volvo B10M with Plaxton Premier 350 coachwork.
