Metrobus's fleet of Volvo B5LH/Wright Gemini 3's have recently had new blinds fitted, so that they can be used on routes X26 and 355. WHV77 (BF65WKG) is seen inside Croydon Garage blinded for route 355. Due to the Brixton Low Emissions corridor, the WHV's were the only alternative bus to use in the event that there were not enough WS's for route 355, since these are hybrid and Euro VI
Three styles of bodywork are represented by these preserved Metrobus Leyland Olympians, which formed part of a 40th anniversary line up for the operator at the LBM summer event. From left to right are Leyland-bodied G806TMX, ECW-bodied C395DML and Roe-bodied UWW13X
Whilst up in Edinburgh for the day (25/04/2023) I stumbled across a display of buses at the Association of Local Bus Managers (ALBUM) Conference. ALBUM provides the opportunity to exchange best practice among its 130+ members and to influence policy for the promotion of high quality services that encourages more people to travel by bus.
Underneath the trees on the Embankment was never a great place for a photo but some vehicles just couldn't be ignored. Metrobus had many Leyland Olympians but B688 BPU was definitely odd man out being part of a batch of "commuter coaches" supplied new to Eastern National. It arrived with metrobus in 1991 and was snapped on 14th July, 1992, during a four year stay.

The 24th July 2020 marked 10 years since the final MCW Metrobuses were withdrawn from service. The streets of the Midlands are not the same without them!

In May 1987 I visited a number of bus depots in South Wales including Newport Transport where I photographed a line up of MCW Metrobuses including 69 DTG369V.
On its first day in service with Metrobus, ADL Enviro 400 E196 (SN61BJZ) is seen in Purley on route 405. Previously with Mandela Way and Camberwell for routes 453 and 468, this bus will eventually form the future allocation to route 403 which Metrobus take over from Arriva in October.
