First Gold Arrow Metrobus on 23
Seen in central London, Oxford Street, this Centrewest Metrobus carries First Gold Arrow fleetnames, in common with the midibuses on routes 28 and 31, where the name was first introduced. Route 23 has an interesting history too, as it was a fictitious route number used on LT publicity for many years.
