The 326 had been increased in frequency to every 10 minutes, but not using low floor buses. The route
is interestingly a former joint operation between London Transport (326) and Thames Valley (26).

The frequency of the route is not as corrupted as the picture suggests, because this pair of ex London
Wright Handybus Darts are not both on the 326 - as the route branding suggests. Leading bus 528 (H368XGC)
is on the 326, but the bus bringing up the rear is on another cross-town route, the 301. If these buses
get repainted not Arriva colours, it will boost further the number of coour schemes this batch of London
vehicles has subsequently acquired.

Lynx 301 has also been 326-branded - and is actually on the route. It is often elsewhere, indeed the Darts
have been seen on the evening services to Henley.

now Arriva'd and passing the Arriva Rover garage on the 326.

Not long transferred from Oxford - as the fleetname suggests - are a handful of dual door Marshall bodied
Darts. Oxford have had the batch of buses advertised for sale, surplus to requirements. It looks like
they've at least found a buyer for the ones transferred to Wycombe. Whilst the bus still sports Oxford
insignia, the legal lettering - on a little blue sticker on the other side - says Arriva the Shires. 503 (M503VJO)
is being followed by 242 - note its front.
