Midsomer Murders (Carlton police series, 1997-)
Episode 2.3: Dead Man's Eleven
Wessex 6184 (R813RWS) brings Inspector Barnaby's daughter Cully to the fictional town of Causton, played here by Wallingford in Oxfordshire. It's a Plaxton-bodied Volvo B10M in National Express livery. Thanks to Paul for the screen capture:
Episode 5.3: Ring Out Your Dead
Chris Hough notes "This Carlton series set in the fictional county of Midsomer has in two recent episodes had buses on the screen as stage sets. The first episode featured a Mk 1 National in NBC livery with vinyls saying 75 years of service but no clue as to the identity of the owner."
Noel Clark has confirmed the identity of the Leyland National as his former Alder Valley 221 (KPA372P) in Aldershot and District livery, although when filmed it was owned by Mike Nash in Surrey. Mike Lloyd confirms an appearance by Dodge S56/Northern Counties E44FFV ex Preston, which also appears in 'Murder in Mind'.

Episode 5.4: Murder on St O'Malley's Day
Dodge S56/Northern Counties E44FFV ex Preston appears (the location is Turville in Buckinghamshire) - it bears 'Causton and District' fleetnames.

Episode 12.5: Small Mercies
A man is found murdered in a model village. As the police investigate, a model bus is glimpsed in the background:
There's also a scene in the workshop, where this, possibly an AEC K, is seen, with 'Hanton Traction' fleetnames:

Episode 13.2: The Sword of Guillaume
Rob Sissons notes: "Lots of interior and exterior views of Bedford YRQ/Plaxton PNM757M of Ouse Valley Coaches, used on a trip to Brighton, with fictitious 'J C Motors of Causton' fleetnames."
Rob adds; "I think they tried to hide the coach registration number anyway - because of its age perhaps? There is almost always someone standing in front of it when you get a close view of it!". Pleased to say I snatched one capture of the front:
