 A rarity that turned up at SHOWBUS international in 2002 was this integral singledeck MCW Metroliner coach, now with Adam-Martyn Coaches in the Potteries. Metroliner 8845 (FKK845Y) was one of a small batch of CR126/8s that worked in National Express livery for East Kent. It has been much modified over the years. |
 Three years later another MCW Metroliner appeared at SHOWBUS. East Kent acquired two more of the later Hiliner HR131/12 Metroliners in 1988. This was 8855 (E855UKR) in the ownership of PPH Coaches of St Albans. |
 Delivered to East Kent as 8920 (GU52WSY), this Volvo B12M with Plaxton Paragon coachwork was used on express routes from the Kent coast. The vehicle is seen in summer 2007 in Victoria. It had been numbered into the Stagecoach national scheme as 53002 and ownership has passed to Stagecoach in Cambridge. |
