(4161) M161GRY is one of four Bright Yellow road safety buses three of which (including this one) are based at Wigston.

(4167) M167GRY is identical to 4161 (above).

When the first "yellow peril" appeared it was thought only one existed reported as 4161 or 4167 and it was somewhile before it was proved both existed !.

(4174) M174GRY is based at Southgates and is the Leicestershire "Stress Buster" Bus !.

4502 + 4503 are seen here showing different frontal styles with 4502 in original condition and 4503 with the troublesome electronic destination replaced by conventional blinds and the wipers altered from pointing up from the bottom of the windowscreen to hanging down from the top (this modification was done to Southgates Olympians and some at other depots).
