A bus which had a short life with Carousel is seen in Wycombe High Street in May 2009. It was new to Speedlink and ended its days on National Express' Hotel Hoppa network at Heathrow.
 

A unique vehicle in the Carousel fleet was this Optare Excel. It is seen in February 2007 in the rain about to enter the Wycombe's Eden Bus Station.
 

Four months later, and still bereft of fleetnames, the former Trent Optare, 202 (P202BNR), is earning its keep on Line 2 in West Street, Marlow.
 

After the Excel Carousel received a number of Optare Tempos to replace an assortment of vehicles, shortly after the company was acquired by Go-Ahead. It was a little while before the first Solos arrived in the fleet. Seen in Wycombe Bus Station shortly after arrival in June 2014 and still bereft of fleet insignia was Solo 711 (MX58AAF). The bus was new to E&M Horsburgh of Pumpherston in Scotland, but came via neighbouring Go-Ahead group member Thames Travel.

Also from Thames Travel and initially with E&M Horsburgh was 713 (MX58AAN) seen in Watford in later that year in September. The Solos were a popular choice for the 336 from Watford to High Wycombe and an economical choice for Sunday services, particularly the Heathrow A40. Also in the picture is Arriva the Shires Alexander Dennis Enviro400 5458 (SN58EOE).
