Now in service here are nine Wright StreetDeck vehicles which were originally ordered for the Go North East operation but subsequently diverted here. 901-03 are in the Oxford Bus Company fleet with 904-909 in the Thames Travel fleet. Although a common fleet numbering system is used the vehicles were numbered out of sequence with the registrations. 901-03 are registered NK20EKT/W/X with 904-09 carrying NK20EKO/P/R/Y, ELU, ENJ.
