This Metrobus was on display outside the Bullring today, it had a WM badge on front grille, anyone got any idea for its previous identity. The curved windowscreen suggests that it not an ex-WM example, unless it is a replacement.

'XAP 1' is it new registration, the rear had been plated over, so no chance to see if it was a MK2 or MK2A.

It was built in 1979, according to DVLA, and is stated as being red. Maybe ex London transport, but the stairs are in the usual place for a single door version, right behind the cab. I am aware MK2's were not produced until 1981.

It is 'officially' ex BYX 108V a London Transport Mark 1 (hence new 1/10/79 on DVLA). The company who own it, Bus Business have been known to swop registration plate between vehicles before as most of the front is definately not BYX 108V.
