Good morning 1994!
As was my wont for a good 20 years, I would kick off the New Year by heading to Winchester for the Friends of King Alfred Buses annual 1 January running day. I had just alighted from the train when I encountered MetroScania PGC204L, new to London Transport as MS4, one of a batch of six experimental vehicles. Its time in London was brief, but it moved to Newport Transport to join similar vehicles bought new by the Welsh operator whose colours PGC204L wears. King Alfred Buses bought a similar pair of MetroScanias in 1971, shortly before selling out to the National Bus Company. This pair did not survive to be preserved, and I understand that PGC204L is likewise no longer extant. DVLA records indicate that it ceased to be taxed after 6/09.
