Daimler DMS - London Sightseeing.

The Metrobus fleet includes an assortment of DMS types with two doors and a cutaway rear. In the Metrobus livery, registered KUC 922P, works route 61 to Bromley North Station. 

The RMC origins date back to June 1957 when London Transport took delivery of CRL4, this fourth and final prototype Routemaster had an ECW body designed specifically for use on the Green Line network. The most notable outward difference affected the rear which was modified to allow the fitting of electrically operated platform doors. CRL4 entered service in October 1957 on route 721, after some early teething problems were sorted out the bus moved from Romford to High Wycombe where it took up duties on route 711. Public reaction to the bus was favourable resulting in London Transport ordering 68 Park Royal bodied vehicles in 1961, originally it was planned that these would be called the CR class (Coach Routemaster) however this was changed to RMC before the first one were delivered in 1962.The batch RMC1453 to 1520 were very similar to the prototype expect for the front layout which apart from twin headlamp's was to the then standard RM design. The first buses entered service on route 715 operated by Guildford Garage on August 29th 1962. The rest of the class quickly followed resulting in a total of 8 routes being converted to the type.CRL4's frontal area was eventually modified to match the production vehicles and the bus was classified RMC4 however it remained unique as only Routemaster not carry a Park Royal Vehicles built body.

The first prototype Routemaster made it's debut in 1954, this new vehicle was designed by LT and was intended to build on the success of the earlier RT, RM1 originally appeared with a solid front grille, however by the time it and the second prototype finally entered passenger service in 1956, both had received a revised front radiator grille that bore a closer resemblance to the actual production vehicles. The Routemaster was the successor to the RT, and like in predecessor it was designed by London Transport to handle the rigors of service in the capital. The first production vehicles entered service in 1959, replacing trolleybuses at Popular and West Ham garages. In all over 2100 standard length Routemasters entered service between 1959 and 1964.

AEC 4Q4 single deck bus - London Passenger Transport Board (1934 Wartime).

AEC 4Q4 Single Deck Bus, London Passenger Transport Board (Wartime).

In 1932 there suddenly appeared on the London streets a revolutionary new design with a full front and seats in the position where orthodox passenger vehicles had engines. An entirely new design of chassis was evolved by AEC at Southall, with the engine posistioned on the offside frame member behind the front axle. After the success of the single deck Q with L.G.O.C and provincial operators, the L.P.T.B ordered 102 4Q4 type for Country Area bus work which entered service throughout 1935. Although far ahead if its time, the Q Type was only in production for 4 years but it paved the way for the underfloor engined type so much in evidence today. In August 1952, Q75 was withdrawn from normal passenger work and converted for use by the service fleet as a training vehicle for Civil Defence exercises, in which capacity it was converted into a mobile gas unit. It was renumbered in May 1954 to Q1035CD.

PDL 27, registration number X527 GGO is part of a batch of vehicles delvered new, from Plaxton Scarborough in December 2000 for operation on Tffl route 289. This is based at the Arriva London Beddington Farm garage (code CN) in Beddington Farm Road, Croydon. As delivered the bus was in Arriva red livery with cream "cow horns". The bus is a 10.7m length Dennis Dart SLF fitted with Plaxton Pointer 2 bodywork, equipped with a Cummins Euro 2 engine and regenerating exhaust particulate trap. The bus has individual seats for 31 passengers with 27 standees or 22 standees with one wheelchair, the wheelchair ramp is situated at the centre door. Following the award of this contract in 2005, the bus was refurbished and repainted in London Buses red with a white roof together with route descriptor (for aerial identification). Route 289 operates between Purley Station (Whytecliffe Road) and Elmers End Green, via West Croydon. The route is 9.75 miles end to end, and takes roundly one hour each way. Daytime frequency is 15 minutes, widening to 30 minutes during evenings.

The Metrobus manufactured by Metropolitan Cammell Weymann in Birmingham, was the next volume purchase by London Transport of new double deck buses after the DMS. With LT running Metropolitans from the same manufacturer, they took a demonstrater on loan at the end of 1977. This resulted in a trial of 5 vehicles running in 1978/9 that was first succesul so orders were placed for a significant numbers that were progressively introduced from 1979. The production vehicles could be distinguished from the trial vehicles as they had smaller, Routemaster style, blind boxes. LT considered the MkII version by trialling a pair against Leyland Olympian, Dennis Dominator and Volvo B55 types. A third Metrobus MkII was also due for delivery as a MkIII prototype but never materialised, like the MkIII Metrobus itself. Apart from a number of single door MkII's for Harrow and a few secondhand vehicles bought from the north of England the LT fleet was all MkI with the asymmetrical widscreen design. The LT Metrobus fleet went on to total 1,485 with LT becoming the biggest customer for the Metrobus, even beating West Midlands Travel in whose territory the Metrobus was built. M331 ended its London sevice running for London General.

The D9 was first unveiled in 1958. It was build by the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co Ltd. For use on its large midlands network.

London United began as London United Tramways in the early 1900s. They were bought out by Stanwell Buses Ltd (Westlink) from London Transport in 1995 and by Trandev in 1997. They once operated trams (until 1933) and trolleybuses (until 1952). The name was reincarnated when London United Busways set up as a subsidary of London Buses during the late 80s. Upon privatisation in 1994, it was purchased by a management buyout and remained London United. In 1997 the bus company was puchased by French transport group Transdev. London United operates approxmately 60 routes on contract to Tfl (Transport for London) and employs around 2000 staff.

Destination: X26 Heathrow

In October 2004, London Buses awarded Metrobus the contract to operate route X26, with effect from the following April. A limited stopping service between Croydon and Heathrow Airport, this replaced most of route 726, one of the last former Green Line services to operate across. South London, which had most recently been operated by Tellings Golden Miller. With 28 Scania OmniCities already in the Metrobus fleet for Fastway services in Crawley and also for Orpington route 358, this type of vehicle was an obvious choice. Fleet number 543 represents the batch of five purchased, which differ from the other batches in being single door and have additional luggage racks to cater for the high number of tourists / air passengers using the route. This batch of vehicles was the first to be delivered new in allover red and with the now familiar silver logos, as had already been seen on the latest repaints for TfL contracts. The batch moved from the former East Surrey depot at South Godstone, to the new depot in Croydon, in February 2006.

The buses are mainly used on the high profile Central London Route 24 running between Hampstead Heath and Pimlico.
