 Wallace Arnold's Volvo/Plaxton coaches are popular secondhand acquisitions. New owner Aintree Coaches brought P331VWR to EFE SHOWBUS International 2001. The base cream livery has not needed changing. A First Badgerline Volvo Citybus is seen behind. |

 Here East Yorkshire's 59 (EYD1T) can be seen clearly alongside. |
Thames Transit acquired a batch of ex Wallace Arnold coaches for the 390 Oxford - London via Henley service and they
operated for a while in WA cream with Thames scene murals and route information. They have now donned conventional Tube
livery and duties.

What a history this Leyland Leopard has! It was new in 1975 to WA's London
subsidiary, Evan Evans as HWU78N. It was fitted with a 46 seat Plaxton
Panorama Elite III coach body. It was exported to Australia and at some stage
rebodied with this Custom 53 seat bus body. It has passed through several
Australian operators including Challenge Travel and here with Sydney urban operator,
Crossley. Crossley was associated with the Queensland operator, Whitsunday
Transit, but the Sydney fleet was taken over by Connex in November 2001 and this
photo was taken a few weeks after that event. It is seen in Bankstown.
The bus subsequently passed on to another Sydney company, Transit First.
