Heading through Knightsbridge and followed by one of Armchair's Dart MPDs in all over white on the 49 is RM1786 (786DYE) on route 10. The bus is owned by Metroline London North and is still in drab MTL colours.

Routemaster RM1804 (804DYE) is seen arriving for the last Duxford SHOWBUS in 2014 which featured a special tribute to 60 years of the model. The bus was presented in MTL London livery, but has since been repainted into an earlier London Transport livery, leaving few traces of MTL London behind.

Our Official Photographer, Chris Strong, probably did not spot that 1804 came in a second time about two hours later having dropped passengers earlier and then headed out to join the RM parade from Royston.

Optare MetroRider MRL222 (K422HWY) of MTL London is seen on the W5 - it is one of the first Optare built models. It passed into Metroline ownership with the rest of the fleet and later saw service with Pride of the Dales, Threshfield and less glamorously Banga of Wolverhampton.
