 The distinctive front treatment, with the inverted triangular gives the doubledeck fleet an unusual appearance and serves to disguise their origins. This is a pair of East Lancs bodied Scania N113DRB doubledeckers for school services, acquired from Brighton & Hove where they were 773 (P873VFG) and 774 (P874VFG). Picture ref A12. |

 The fleet features one of the many ex Dublin Bus Olympians then loose on the mainland. Volvo Olympian R336LHK has Alexander (Belfast) bodywork and was RV359 (97-D-359) in the Irish capital. Picture ref A14. |

Low floor doubledeckers were then percolating through on to school contract work and this is doubtless Country Bus' first in the shape of Alexander ALX400 bodied former Stagecoach London Dennis Trident TA262 (X262NNO) from the Selkent division.

 It is not known if this "Dinosaur Bus" ever ran with Country Bus, but it was in their yard in August 2013. A large model dinosaur is visible inside the lower saloon. The bus was new as Merseyside PTE 70 (A152HLV), one of thirteen front engined Volvo Ailsas with Alexander bodies delivered in 1984. Unusually the bus went on to see further service joining Cardiff's less common Northern Counties bodied examples as their 438. Picture ref A15. |
