London Central OM 420 in The Broadway, Wimbledon
An unusual but interesting addition to London Central's private hire fleet in 2000 was open-top MCW Metrobus OM 420 with the vehicle painted in an attractive red & cream livery with black lining reminiscent of the LT livery found on London's original fleet of trams until July 1952. However, compared to London General's open-top OM 171 which was converted to single-door layout in 1995 OM 420 retained its dual-door layout as seen here with the vehicle operating on the Wimbledon Tennis shuttle service passing the former Wimbledon Town Hall in July 2000. Back in the 1980s and 1990s London Central never operated MCW Metrobuses as their main OPO double-deck bus fleet consisted of Leyland Titans and a small fleet of ECW bodied Leyland Olympians.
