June the subsidised services 103/108/118 from Oxford had a reduced PVR from 3
to 1 plus 1 trip that appears to work off a school contract. In N&P this week,
all 3 routes will be withdrawn in 8 weeks time – mid December. I have seen a
very old double deck in service (legal as it has less than 25 trips per week
now), so it appears the modern Solos have gone.
In Banbury today, I saw 2779 UE on the 499 which
is a Northamptonshire contract. Again quite an elderly Solo with very few
passengers.

Celebrating 25 years of service to the
Chilterns
As mentioned in the Editorial for this issue of OCBP, Red Rose has upgraded the 275 service from high Wycombe to Oxford. This has one early morning journey to Oxford and the last evening journey from Oxford which works via Stokenchurch. The other journeys operate via Chinnor and the branding clearly shows this difference. The service operates from Monday to Friday and there is no weekend service. Nic Cherry is the regular driver and is very proud of his new charge and provides the pictures below which are supplemented by Gavin Francis.
A lovely picture of the newly acquired bus seen at Tetsworth on the A40 on its
first day in service.
The livery is very smart and seems to change the appearance of the ADL E200
body.
The interior and rear views reveal a comfortable looking bus offering a
reasonable fare.

To celebrate 25 years of service the company has introduced two new E200s in a celebratory livery with appropriate branding. Nick sent some pictures taken at the recent Amersham event showing the buses which are normally allocated to a route in Milton Keynes.
The date is October 2nd and its Amersham 2016.
Nick sent this trio picture taken on November 5th at the depot.
