Glimpsed rounding the 'blue leanie' roundabout is one of a pair of ex Nottingham Northern Counties bodied
Olympians which left that fleet for Southend after relatively short service. From there they went to Buffalo Travel
and one was used as Rally Control at Showbus, Woburn Abbey during that time. They passed to the Shires
with Buffalo's bus services and were initially despatched to Wycombe for the Chesham services, but
were too tall to negotiate Amersham Railway Bridge. They now while their time away on school runs at Aylesbury, which is what this one is doing.

A long running Guide Friday tour is that of Oxford City - a natural follow on from GF's pioneering nearby
Stratford on Avon operation. This is another former Nottingham vehicle.

The highly successful Guide Friday tour operation has concentrated on using retired distinctive Nottingham City
Leyland Atlanteans converted to open top and adorned with suitable detailed paintings. GTO333N is seen
on the Windsor tour in 1996, opposite the Castle. It is being overtaken by a Toyota Coaster/Caetano
used on the town's Park & Ride service.
