Metroline West SN1919 - Route 207 - Shepherd's Bush
Route 207 has the only Scania N230UD's Omnicities operated by Metroline (although there are some East Lancs Olympus bodied ones based at Perivale.) They were inherited from First, where they were also the only examples of the type. I understand that it was the only type that was available in time for the conversion of the route from bendy buses to double deckers. I believe they were the last of their type to enter in service in London before their manufacture was discontinued. SN1919 is seen in Uxbridge Road.
Route 207 was introduced in 1960 to replace trolleybus route 607 (maybe some inspiration for the limited stop version introduced in 1990...) It ran from Uxbridge to Shepherd's Bush Green.
In 2003 the route as cut back to Hayes By-Pass. Now to me that's an odd destination but it may mean more locally! Route 427 took over the route to the west. Finally, when Westfield and White City Bus Station opened in 2008 it extended there creating the current form of the route.
