High Wycombe, 11.1.13
High Wycombe, 11.1.13

High Wycombe bus station is a busy place. When I visited on 11th January, there was a wide range of types of buses in evidence. The 23 pictures I am uploading in this batch were taken in the space of 40 minutes.

Main operators are Arriva and Carousel although Red Eagle and Vale Travel also appeared.

Perhaps typically, Arriva produced a wide range of vehicles, many elderly. I was also struck by the enormous mix of vehicle types on the same route, with the local high frequency routes boasting a mix of single and double deckers.

The Carousel fleet is more modern and allocations more consistent. Route 4 to Chesham operates every 20 minutes using a fleet of Optare Tempos. Arriva route 62 duplicates the 4 to provide a 10-minute frequency between High Wycombe and Amersham, but on this day was fielding everything from Solos and MPDs to full size DAF Wrights.

Carousel schedule good layovers at High Wycombe that seems to ensure punctuality but meant that arriving buses couldn't get to the stand because the previous departure was still there. So the order of the day seemed to be drop off at any free stand and then find somewhere to park until the stand was free.
