398 MA Amersham (Quill Hall Estate) - Coleshill - Beaconsfield
398A MA Amersham (Quill Hall Estate) - Coleshill - Winchmore Hill
The 398 and 398A were another pair of Amersham garage's Cub operated routes, taken over by GS buses in December 1953. They served the Quill Hall Estate up to the east of Amersham, running down to the station and then the garage before striking out southwards into the countryside. They turned off the main road to Beaconsfield to serve the village of Coleshill. The 398A then turned right and squeezed througgh some very tight lanes to reach the hamley of Winchmore Hill. The 398 turned back eastwards from Coleshill, and rejoined the main road towards Beaconsfield. It joined the 373 route near Beaconsfield station, and ran through the village to terminate in the classic position between pub and church.
These routes too received RFs to replace the GSs in October 1962.
