Brief History
A new operator to Harlow and the first time to my knowledge that a
National Express service has served the town, came to be on Saturday 2nd
April 2022 when route 737 arrived. A long standing service from Oxford to
Stansted Airport, Harlow was part of the new routing just introduced and
also includes Hertfort and Hatfield. It provides new direct links to Luton
(town and airport) and Oxford ad well as connections north at Milton
Keynes Busway.
The 737 is run by Go-ahead's Oxford
Bus Company which also umbrellas Thames Travel and Carousel. Besides this
National Express franchise, on the coaching front, they also run the
long-standing coach link from Oxford to Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
Vehicles shown on this page will be just those which have seen service on
the 737.

Mercedes-Benz Tourismo
A now typical very high specification tri-axle
coach operating National Express services to many parts of the country
is this type. Just one has ventured onto the 737 though. You can't miss
it! |

Fleet number 40 can turn an eye, but doesn't necessarily help project the
fact that a National Express service is now operating! Fleet number 40
leaving Harlow for Oxford during the first week of operation. (R Hudson) |

Levante 2
The predecessor to the Levante 3 is, perhaps
obviously, the Levante 2. The more rounded design makes the contrast from
the views above. |

Fleet number 56 shows the previous incarnation of the Caetano Levante
body style. My sense is that this is still the most commonly sighted
variant. (R Hudson) |

Fleet number 57 shows the offside aspect. (R Hudson) |
