Thame Town Services Taken Over
As of tomorrow, we will be taking over the Thame Town services from Arriva the Shires due to a contract change. Also in the contract it says that we cannot use any buses that are older than ten years old. For the routes we have brought Enviro200s 2161 MX62 APK and 2162 MX62 APO, however, only one of these buses will be used at a time.
They will both be based at our Aylesbury depot.

Tomorrow, our new High Wycombe depot is set to open with the first two routes being route 40 to Thame via Stokenchurch and route 56 to Booker via Desborough Avenue.
Route 40 will use two buses and will operate every hour. It is set to be allocated with Wright Pulsar 2's which have been at Aylesbury since they arrived with us. They will be 3705 YJ62 JZG and 3706 YJ62 JZH with similar 3707 YJ62 JZR also going to High Wycombe as a spare. For the time being, sister 3708 YJ62 JZT will be staying at Aylesbury to cover for repaints.
Route 56 will be using one bus and will operate every 20 minutes. It will be operated using one of a pair of Temsa Avenues brought from Cross Counties Transport with the other acting as a spare. They are 3951 YJ11 GHF and 3952 YJ11 GHG.
We have plans to expand this depot within the next few months
