Duly looked at :D - MCW Metrobus, but not seen clearly enough to identify the specific vehicle.

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.

More likely RYX: TX was a Glamorgan registration.

It's BYX - this is MTL London M299 (BYX299X), a 1980 MCW Metrobus new to London Buses, by 1999 running out of Holloway garage.

I'm pretty sure (from watching the DVD) the plate is a Y-reg, not an X-reg. And isn't X-reg 1981?

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

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.
