My Mom just told me a Metrobus with TWM Seats is being converted into a Luxury Holiday Retreat its on 'George Clarke's Amazing Spaces' on Channel 4 at 8pm tonight but I'll be watching Waterloo Road at that time so I'll watch it on C4+1 at 9pm but there is another conversion included so the programme is not all about the Metrobus but I'll record every single bit about the Metrobus on my phone and put it on YouTube Tomorrow :) If any of you guys want to watch it Feel Free ;)

It must be this one, so the show must be a repeat

You can not see the reg in the pic on that site, but I have seen a proper picture on Flickr of it in Brighton, am trying to find it again, but it is an NOA-X, I think last with Ellie-Rose

IT IS 'NOA 464X'

It's not a repeat I don't think its into the 3rd episode of the NEW Series and this episode includes a couple putting their life savings into creating a Boat Hotel I think :) but It'll be interesting to see

Yeah I watched it thought he made a good job of it, the only thing I was not keen on was everything had to be green inside & out.  I thing the bus also looked better in the orginal colour scheeme it looked a lot better, it looked a bit like the old Stagecoach livery.

The programme also never mentioned if he ever drove the bus or if it was permantly parked there.

Seems the most logical thread to put this in...

Was on Scout Camp at the weekend at Rough Close (near Coventry) and on site they have a new activity in the form of an old Powells Dart P814 YCW...

Basically this guy has been re-fitting a load of old buses as mobile simulated caving systems, and there's already a few dotted around the country at some activity centres / campsites, plus I believe some (or just one atm, can't remember what the guy said now) available for hire.

And apparently his next project is a double decker.

Genius use for it I say
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Have finally seen it on a repeat of George Clarke's Amazing Spaces today. A great conversion, although having too many beds squeezed onto on the top floor.

One aspect I wasn't over keen on though was the outside shower!
