SteveA ◊ 2008-02-17 00:25	Duly looked at - MCW Metrobus, but not seen clearly enough to identify the specific vehicle. -- Last edit: 2008-02-17 00:25:46
G-MANN ◊ 2008-02-17 00:27	Would you care to look at this one; /vehicle_155415-AEC-Routemaster.html
G-MANN ◊ 2009-03-23 22:08	The plate number looks to me like RTX229Y but that belongs to a Renault 5. But I'm pretty the RTX and Y parts are correct, SteveA might know which one this is. -- Last edit: 2009-03-23 22:09:12

SteveA ◊ 2009-03-24 00:03	It's BYX - this is MTL London M299 (BYX299X), a 1980 MCW Metrobus new to London Buses, by 1999 running out of Holloway garage.
G-MANN ◊ 2009-03-24 00:14	I'm pretty sure (from watching the DVD) the plate is a Y-reg, not an X-reg. And isn't X-reg 1981?
SteveA ◊ 2009-03-24 21:17	Sorry - V and 1980; multiple typos brought on by a heavy cold: MTL London M299 (BYX299V), a 1980 MCW Metrobus new to London Buses, by 1999 running out of Holloway garage. Y-plate London Metrobuses were OJD-Y. X-plates were KYV-X
G-MANN ◊ 2009-03-24 21:53	Get well soon!
SteveA ◊ 2010-08-30 23:24	Just seen this movie for the first time - there's also a passing view of a Big Bus Company Leyland B20 Fleetline open topper new to London Transport.
