It was running an evening service bound for London Victoria station via Vauxhall, Oval and Brixton. The bus's number plate was W974 GHM. The other five passengers were Angela Whittaker, Nathan, Barclay, Carmen and Lou.
- The 200 was a modified double-decker bus taken as Lady Cristina de Suza's spaceship in the episode planet of the dead. By the start of the series of books, Cristina had repaired the heavily damaged bodywork and fully replaced the engine to allow the wheels to work.She had also strengthened it and added air systems for space travel. In the first 200 book, she received plans to use the antigravity plates in reverse to warp space enough to create a time travelling wormhole around the craft, it later transpired that she gave these plans to herself due to a temporal paradox.

Also later added was a teleport system to allow her to travell across space in an instant.Both the time travell and the teleport systems were controlled from a stolen laptop mounted in the driver's seat. Although the lower deck remained largely unchanged save for the addition of the laptop and a large air recirculater salvaged from a crashed plane,the upper deck was adapted into a living area by adding a bed and a cooking area.
- When the transit through the wormhole took place, the 200 had eight occupants, including the Tenth Doctor, the fugitive Christina de Souza (who evaded the police by hopping on the 200 bus) and its driver, who was killed when he attempted to run through the wormhole, but was incinerated. It was running an evening service bound for London Victoria station via Vauxhall, Oval and Brixton. The bus's number plate was W974 GHM. The other five passengers were Angela Whittaker, Nathan, Barclay, Carmen and Lou. A small party of Tritivores who had crashed on San Helios mistook the 200 for a weapon. The bus took the brunt of the wormhole's power to protect its occupants but was badly damaged as a result, losing much of the left side of its top deck. It was left stuck in the sand, and though the passengers atttempted to dig it out sufficiently to allow it to reverse through the wormhole using duckboards improvised from its upholstery, it ran out of petrol and was effectively marooned, however, so the Doctor fitted it with anti-gravity clamps from the Tritovore ship to fly it through the wormhole, back to London. However, the 200 was pursued by the ravenous Stingrays, which were shot down by soldiers. Back on Earth, Lady de Souza took advantage of a distraction and the Doctor's secret help to steal the bus and escape in it, flying away. (TV: Planet of the Dead) Later, during his eleventh incarnation, the Doctor said that the Timeship had created a rift large enough to drive a double-decker bus through, and mentioned that he had actually done so before.
