Here we see it as used by Thames Valley, decorated in their cream and maroon livery, registered 520 ABL. The interior is moulded in maroon with a black steering wheel. The front of the vehicle features a mass of contrasting chrome detail and the destination board beneath the driver's split windscreen indicates it is travelling as a Thames Valley Relief bus. The row of additional 'skylights' along the side of the roof line gives the bus a light and airy feel which must have made travelling in it quite a pleasure in its day.
