A smart addition to Motts Travels mini fleet was this Optare Mercedes based Star Rider.
In its dual role it sometimes finds itself on route 20 to Wendover Market. |

Above, F648PLW, the small Reebur bodied Merc 609
acquired from one of the Heathrow car rental courtesy fleets, believed to be Hertz, thereby needing
little colour change! It is seen here amidst bluebells on the M1 route from Wycombe via Watlington to Reading. It is just south
of Nettlebed.

A few weeks later, the same bus is seen at the Wheatley M40 services having done the
same M1 route in the morning, but about to do a feeder service meeting holidaymakers back from
Torquay. However, on the run down the M40 from Wycombe, there was a gust of wind and a loud
crash! As you can see, it has lost its toupe! Motts mechanics tidied it up later, and 'PLW' run for the
rest of the year (1999) before leaving the fleet.

This early Mercedes with Reeve Burgess coachwork is seen on a special shuttle service ferrying visitors to the Tring & Wendover Canal showground to a craft fair at Marsworth Lock in summer 2001. |
