| During 2014 the management of the Metrobus operation has been gradually shifted to other Go-Ahead companies. The Crawley base is now overseen by Brighton and Hove, while the 'red' garages of Croydon and Orpington are now part of Go-Ahead London (using the London General operator's licence). There had already been a few transfers of service vehicles between Metrobus and other Go-Ahead companies but a further set of swaps took place in mid-2014. The five newest Mercedes-Benz Vito minibuses at Metrobus's Croydon garage (fleetnumbers 8065 to 8069) were sent to London General's Northumberland Park. Going the other way were five of the six red Vauxhall Combo crew vans, now allocated fleetnumbers 9033 to 9037. The Combos are still in anonymous red livery but at least have company names in the windscreens, as seen on HN13YNA (to be fleetnumber 9036) at Addington Village on 9th August 2014. Parked behind is Mercedes-Benz Vito minibus 8058 from Orpington garage. |
