Former Northern General MCW Metrobus 3760 (C760 OCN) braves inclement weather on the cobbles of Liverpool's William Brown Street. I'm afraid I am not able to identfy who owned it.
This bus is still around, serving as a playbus in the East Midlands. It was new in 1986 so is pushing 30 years old which is not bad going,
The second 455 bus to appear on route 359 today was Metrobus ADL Enviro 200 SE172 (YX61EKL), seen in Purley High Street

Metrobus 6475 (YN53 RYD) a Scania Omnidekka at Reigate, Surrey, on route 420. 24th May 2017. I had planned a long session here, having left our Reigate office by 8:30 am, I wasn`t due back until 2pm, However, I had to fill in for an absentee for a meeting and was soon asked if I could return back, So just a handful in the morning, and a couple for a very quick lunch. Never mind, always next time.......

Leyland Lynx F80 SMC had been new to Metrobus in September 1988 for LRT contract services and is seen here at Metrobus's Crawley depot in May 2002. The vehicle later worked for Manns of Gravesend.
Park lane's Massive Metrobus Allocation can be seen to full effect on this freezing January Sunday morning. With one Fleetline on the back row. Also of note are the Metroriders up the top of the yard. Real shame this slide didn't come out better as i didn't venture up to the railway foot bridge again before it was demolished.
1996.
If this went out on the 405 any time soon, I'd eat my shoes. Metrobus 192 (YY13VKS) is seen in Whyteleafe South blinded for route 405 to Redhill.
Special thanks to the driver, who I knew from my work experience at Croydon Garage for being kind enough to let me change the blinds whilst we were on the stand
The old girl is still going, for another 3 months at least. Metrobus Dennis Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer 214 (SN03WMG) is seen parked in the yard at Croydon Garage. Unlike the rest of the 130 Darts, which were sold, 214 and sister 219 are remaining at Croydon for another 3 months as logistical spares for route 359 but will be withdrawn in March 2018. This bus was in a very good condition when I had it last, so glad to see it still going

Green Bus MCW Metrobus MK2 seen on a private hire parked in Hamstead.
This was new to London Buses in 1987 as M1458 for the Harrow operation.
Metrobus ADL Enviro400 E223 (SN61DFC) is unusually seen at Clapham Junction on Rail Replacement duties between Clapham Junction and London Victoria. It's also worth noting that this bus was used in service on route 127 this morning before rail replacement.
Apologies for the blurry picture! This was the best I could do as the bus was already moving.
Metrobus Volvo B9TL/Wright Gemini 2 WVL485 (LJ61NWU) is pictured at Hatton Cross prior to re-entering service on route SL7. No idea why it was showing out of service at the time.
This also shows the new luggage racks that have been fitted to the new intake of WVL's the SL7 has received. As these buses are only staying on the route until next April, a cheaper solution was found to simply add a luggage rack by removing a few seats on the lower deck rather than requiring these WVL's to be single doored. Don't think this design of a luggage rack was thought of back in 2017.
