| Photographed in the back yard of the Acton Museum Depot on 2nd April 2014 were a pair of former Metroline buses. Mini-Pointer Dart X667LLX on the left was fleetnumber DLM150 until sold to Ensign in March 2009. A month later it was sold again to the London Transport Museum, who used it as a 'Learning Bus' alongside Optare Excel R197DDX. On the right is former TP3, one of the first Plaxton President bodied Dennis Tridents operated. Withdrawn from use in August 2012, it too was sold to Ensign a month later. It was next reported as being sold to the LT Museum in April 2013, but it was not seen there until April 2014. The 'decker was unlicensed at the time, and its role is not yet clear. It may be intended as an additional Learning Bus (for teaching school children about using public transport), perhaps to replace the Optare. |
