Hi all, would anyone be able to help identify this badge/plate that I purchased from a stall up at the Potteries event a week ago? It looks like it may have been used on the front of Metrobuses back in the West Midlands Travel days, as there looks to be something similar on the front of one of 3303's photographs on this site, but it's hard to tell due to the age of the photograph. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you to both of you for the information, so it's from one of my two favourite buses then, that's a plus! I'd have been happy if it was just a random sign from a depot or something, as it looks pretty cool to me, but to know where it came from, it's amazing.
