| MTL was the company formed from the former Merseyside PTE bus operation, and they had a foray into London operation by buying the London Northern unit in October 1994. Over the next few years, several smaller operators were bought out, bringing unusual new vehicles into the fleet. Among these was Mercedes 207D minibus D203DLX, used as a crew ferry bus numbered 185. It was photographed at Ealing Broadway wearing the 'not-quite-LT' red livery. MTL sold London Northern to Metroline in 1998 and D203DLX was withdrawn a couple of years later. The vehicle parked behind is Ford Transit minibus D829UTF, new to the Berks Bucks Bus Co in 1987 and later used as a crew ferry by Armchair. |
