The China Motor Bus MCW Metrobus numbered ML1 was the first ever tri-axle MCW Metrobus built by Metro-Cammell Weymann, in their Birmingham UK factory. It was also one of 2 prototypes before full production of the ML class for China Motor Bus.
This bus was the first tri axle double decker to arrive in Hong Kong in 1981, together with second prototype ML2. These 12-metre long vehicles were known as "Super-Metrobus". In return, CMB purchased an additional 82 Super-Metrobuses (ML3-ML84) between 1983 and 1988.
The intent of these high capacity buses was to find a solution to cope with the rapidly increasing population of Hong Kong and the increase in demand for cross harbour tunnel bus services that linked Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula.
ML1 was passed on to New World First Bus on 1 September 1998 with the remains of the Hong Kong Island franchise. As promised by the new operator, all non air conditioned buses were to be withdrawn by 2000, which included ML1.
ML1 was purchased by Ensignbus in the UK together with the other 80 similar vehicles from the fleet. It formed part of a group of 40 which were shipped to Australia for a new life as private sighting buses, to cope with the demand from the 2000 Olympic Games held in Sydney. ML1 was then sent to Adelaide with it's roof retained.
It was withdrawn in 2005 and subsequently purchased and restored back into CMB livery by a member of Sydney Bus Museum. It was donated to the Sydney Bus Museum in 2018.

原屬中華巴士的ML1為英國巴士製造商都城嘉慕首批為香港度身訂造的12米三軸Metrobus雙層巴士的第一部。
ML1的出現是當時人口膨脹，再加上連接港島及九龍半島的隧道巴士的需求日漸增多，應運輸署及巴士公司的要求，都城嘉慕為首家英國巴士製造商提供12米三軸雙層樣版巴士給香港試用 。
ML1於1981年5月登陸香港，並在同年於過海隧道路線上投入服務。由於試驗結果非常滿意，連同及後的三門樣版ML2, 令車隊內的同款巴增加到84部 (ML3-ML84)。
ML1於1998年9月1日連同餘下的港島巴士專營權過檔給新世界第一巴士公司。 由於新營運商答應會於接辦後取代所有非空調巴士。ML1 於2000年退役。 其高載客量的優點被英國Ensignbus巴士看中，同款巴士的80部，分別運往英國及澳洲。
其中ML1連同其他同款巴士，為數40部運往澳洲作觀光巴士，去應付當時前往於雪梨舉辦的奧林匹克運動會的遊客。 幸運地ML1沒有像其他同款巴士被改作開頂巴士，被運往南澳洲首都亞德雷德作觀光巴士。
ML1於2005年退役,並由雪梨巴士博物館的其中一位會員購入，並將巴士回復於中華巴士服役時的狀態。巴士在2018年捐贈給雪梨巴士博物館。

I have a ML2 and a ML3 which are based on a Les Paul and a Telecaster. If your not aware of a Chapman guitar and interested in guitars they are fantastic and superb value for money. Designed by Rob Chapman and thousands of his subscribers on YouTube. If your wondering what the ML stands for it means "Monkey Lord" which was what he used when he started his YouTube Channel. I play the Tele (ML3) mostly but also love the ML2 :)

La red de Metro o de ferrocarril metropolitano de Madrid (España) fue inaugurada el 17 de octubre de 1919 por el rey Alfonso XIII, contando aquella Línea 1 con las estaciones comprendidas entre las actuales de Cuatro Caminos y Sol, aunque con una estación más en su recorrido (actualmente la estación-museo de Chamberí).
La red cuenta con 238 estaciones, de las que 200 son sencillas, en 27 trasbordan dos líneas, en 10 tienen parada tres líneas y la estación de Avenida de América que sirve de transbordo a cuatro líneas. En tres de esas estaciones (Tres Olivos, Estadio Olímpico y Puerta de Arganda), se hace cambio de tren dentro de una misma línea, y en 21 paradas hay correspondencia con la red de Cercanías Madrid de Renfe. Si se tienen en cuenta las líneas que pasan por cada estación la cifra de estaciones en total asciende a 300 estaciones en línea.
La red de Metro de Madrid la componen 12 líneas convencionales con 238 estaciones, el ramal que une Ópera y Príncipe Pío y las tres líneas existentes metro ligero que suman un total de 27,78 km y cuentan con 38 estaciones, de las que Metro de Madrid opera las 9 paradas de la línea ML1 de 5,4 km; la longitud total de la red es de 293 kilómetros.
Es la segunda red de metro de la Unión Europea por kilómetros (sin contar el Metro Ligero) y la sexta del mundo después de Shanghái, Londres, Nueva York, Tokio y Moscú. Fue además una de las que más rápidamente se expandió entre 1995 y 2007. Durante 2011 se contabilizaron 634,5 millones de desplazamientos.
La distancia entre los carriles o raíles que conforman las vías del metropolitano madrileño (ancho de vía) es de 1,445 m en las líneas de metro pesado (10 mm más que el ancho internacional o UIC), el ancho de vía en el metro ligero es de 1,435 m (ancho internacional). Los trenes circulan por la vía de su izquierda, a diferencia de la mayoría de redes de ferrocarril que existen en España, que lo hacen por la vía de su derecha. Esto es debido a que en España hasta 1930 no se implantó una norma de circulación que obligase en todo el país a circular por la derecha (como ejemplo, en Madrid se circuló por la izquierda hasta 1924, mientras que en Barcelona siempre se fue por la derecha). Dado que la Red de Metro de Madrid era y sigue siendo independiente del resto de redes ferroviarias españolas, y para ahorrarse el por aquel entonces alto coste del cambio de los sistemas de señalización, se optó por que los trenes de Metro de Madrid siguiesen circulando por la izquierda. Las líneas de Metro Ligero circulan por la derecha.

The Madrid Metro (Spanish: Metro de Madrid) is a metro system serving the city of Madrid, capital of Spain. The system is the sixth longest metro in the world though Madrid is approximately the fiftieth most populous metropolitan area in the world. Its fast growth in the last 20 years has also put it among the fastest growing networks in the world, rivaled by many Asian metros such as the Delhi Metro, Shanghai Metro, Guangzhou Metro or the Beijing Subway. Unlike normal Spanish road and rail traffic, Madrid Metro trains use left-hand running on all lines due to historical reasons. The Madrid Metro operates every day from 6 am-1:30 am.
A light rail system feeding the metro opened in 2007 called Metro Ligero (light metro).
The first line of the Madrid metro opened on 17 October 1919 under the direction of the Compañía de Metro Alfonso XIII, with 8 stations and 3.5 km (2.2 mi). It was constructed in a narrow section and the stations had 60 m platforms. The enlargement of this line and the construction of two others followed shortly after 1919. In 1936, the network had three lines and a branch line between Opera and Norte railway station. All these stations served as air raid shelters during the Spanish Civil War.
After the civil war the public works to extend the network went on little by little. In 1944 a fourth line was constructed and it absorbed the branch of line 2 between Goya and Diego de León in 1958, a branch that had been intended to be part of line 4 since its construction but was operated as a branch of line 2 until the construction of line 4.
Lago station in the old Line S (now Line 10) is one of the few surface stations in the Metro network.
In the sixties, a suburban railway was constructed between Plaza de España and Carabanchel, linked to lines 2 (at Noviciado station with a long transfer) and 3. A fifth metro line was constructed as well with narrow section but 90 m platforms. Shortly after opening the first section of line 5, the platforms in line 1 were enlarged from 60 to 90 m, closing Chamberí station since it was too close to Iglesia (less than 500 m). Chamberí has been closed ever since and has recently been opened as a museum.
At the beginning of the seventies, the network was greatly expanded to cope with the influx of population and urban sprawl from Madrid's economic boom. New lines were planned with large 115 m platforms. Lines 4 and 5 were enlarged as well. In 1979, bad management led to a crisis. Works already started were finished during the eighties and all remaining projects were abandoned. After all those projects, 100 km (62 mi) of rail track had been completed and the suburban railway had also disappeared since it had been extended to Alonso Martínez and thence converted to line 10.
At the beginning of the nineties, control of the network was transferred to a public enterprise, Metro de Madrid. More large-scale expansion projects were carried out. Lines 1, 4 and 7 were extended and a new line 11 was constructed towards the outlying areas of Madrid. Lines 8 and 10 were joined together into a longer line 10 and a new line 8 was constructed to expand the underground network towards the airport. The enlarged line 9 was the first to leave the outskirts of Madrid to arrive in Rivas-Vaciamadrid and Arganda del Rey, two towns located in the southeast suburbs of Madrid.
In the early 2000s, a huge project installed approximately 50 km (31 mi) of new metro tunnels. This construction included a direct connection between downtown Madrid (Nuevos Ministerios) and the airport, the lengthening of line 8, and adding service to the outskirts with a huge 40 km loop called MetroSur serving Madrid's southern suburbs.
MetroSur, one of the largest ever civil engineering projects in Europe, opened on 11 April 2003. It includes 41 km (25 mi) of tunnel and 28 new stations, including a new interchange station on Line 10, which connects it to the city centre and stations linking to the local train network. Its construction began in June 2000 and the whole loop was completed in less than three years. It connects Getafe, Móstoles, Alcorcón, Fuenlabrada, and Leganés, five towns located in the area south of Madrid.
Most of the current efforts of Madrid regional government are channeled towards the enlargement of the Metro network. In the recently finished 2003-2007 term, President Esperanza Aguirre funded a multi-billion dollar project, which has added to, joined, or extended almost all of the metro lines. The project included the addition of 90 km (56 mi) and the construction of 80 new stations. It has carried the underground railway to many districts that had never previously had Metro service (Villaverde, Manoteras, Carabanchel Alto, La Elipa, Pinar de Chamartín) and to the eastern and northern outskirts as well (Coslada, San Fernando de Henares, Alcobendas, San Sebastián de los Reyes). For the first time in Madrid, 3 interurban light rail (Metro Ligero or ML) lines were built to the western outskirts (Pozuelo de Alarcón, Boadilla del Monte) - mL2 and mL3 - and to the new northern districts of Sanchinarro and Las Tablas - mL1. As a last-minute addition, a project on line 8 connected it to the new T4 terminal of Madrid-Barajas Airport.

The intent of these high capacity buses was to find a solution to cope with the rapidly increasing population of Hong Kong and the increase in demand for cross harbour tunnel bus services that linked Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula.
ML1 was passed on to New World First Bus on 1 September 1998 with the remains of the Hong Kong Island franchise. As promised by the new operator, all non air conditioned buses were to be withdrawn by 2000, which included ML1.
ML1 was purchased by Ensignbus in the UK together with the other 80 similar vehicles from the fleet. It formed part of a group of 40 which were shipped to Australia for a new life as private sighting buses, to cope with the demand from the 2000 Olympic Games held in Sydney. ML1 was then sent to Adelaide with it's roof retained.
It was withdrawn in 2005 and subsequently purchased and restored back into CMB livery by a member of Sydney Bus Museum. It was donated to the Sydney Bus Museum in 2018.
