A representative selection of the Wycombe fleet. Firstly, one of the new Dart SLF/Pointers for the town services, which have arrived as a consequence of a partnership with Wycombe District Council to improve public transport in the town. This has seen the introduction of bus lanes and, for the Darts, special kerbing at bus stops to improve accessability. Alongside is one of the five Lynxes which were new to Bee Line and have been in Wycombe for some time, since transfer form Bracknell, they are regular performers on the 328/329 Reading services. Third in line is one of the Alexander bodied Olympians.

This page is devoted to the Lynxes. Although there is a batch of 5, no two are alike. 302 and 303 boast white paint down to waist level, in common with Oxford based singledeckers. 303 and 304 have blue lines on the white at roof level - again an Oxford feature. 305 has a red radiator grill (and Leyland badge!). 302 has its offside fleetname on the first panel, but the fleetname can be found in at least two other positions on the other 4. Some have recently acquired small fleetnames under the windscreen. Rear panels vary enormously with the position of registration plates, grills and fleet numbers, etc. 303, with extra white and blue band is seen here after the tortuous diversion on the Reading service to call at Wycombe Sports Centre.

301 seen in Reading and again in Wycombe in Christmas 1999 snow, note the small fleetname it has acquired.

302, extra white and forward fleetname, calls in at Wycombe Sports Centre.
