message: I have tagged this as dubious as the only reference to "Julian Osbourne" that Google can find is Wikipedia or its mirrors.  I will delete the section in mid January if a citation is not provided by then. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:50, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I'll take off the dubious tag.  If you could possibly find which issue of BUSSES mag had it, that would be an ideal cite. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 13:19, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have any recent photos they they could add, or even go out and tkae some shots in the future. While we've got some pictures, they're pre-Arriva, and the orange bus is now with Arriva at Guildford anyway! Arriva436talk</b>]]/contribs 13:35, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added one of a Scania L94 that I took back in 2006. It isn't the best, but at least it's working a service and it's after the Arriva takeover. Alzarian16 (talk) 13:23, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent! Thanks for that. I wouldn't mind going to MK one day, to photograph all the different coloured buses before they get Arriva'd. Arriva436talk</b>]]/contribs 13:44, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I managed to get there in July and took a few which I've added to this and a few other relevant articles. Most of it had been Arriva'd, but there were a few others left. I also managed to get back home at a half-sensible time, thanks to Redline Buses of all people! Alzarian16 (talk) 19:09, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Good news, that provides a much more rounded illustration. They have been Arriva-ing it very quickly, with a constant stream of buses to Watford for painting. Arriva436talk</b>]]/contribs 19:05, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The company ran over 30 services. Most routes passed through or served Central Milton Keynes. However, routes 16 and 30/31 did not. The routes were generally numbered from 1 to 30, although there were some omissions and some routes in the 30s, as well as a new service numbered 300.Milton Keynes Council - Bus Timetables Accessed 9 November 2008.here MK Metro - Bus Timetables Accessed 9 November 2008.
The key services were numbered 1 to 8, and ran every 10 to 20 minutes. Key services ran through the busiest parts of the city, for example to Bletchley and the District centres. Intermediate services ran from every 20 minutes up to every hour. These routes cover areas in more detail, for example serving through the grid squares, while key services mostly ran on the main roads. The other routes ran at a frequency of every hour or less. These services linked locations outside Milton Keynes into the city, or linked neighbourhoods into the nearest centre.
Note that this list of routes is for historical interest. It is not a list of the current routes operated by Arriva Shires and Essex.
