Saw a strange one in Milton Keynes last Saturday,the bus body looked like a DM but the front had Evolution style headlights.Only got the start of the reg W373 but I think the suffix was a London reg.

Former 373 of Metrobus that would be IIRC, should be with Grant Palmer who operate around Milton Keynes.

Y298 FJN believe another ex London Dart seen with Centrebus in Northampton. Centrebus has quite a lot of ex London stock. With High Peak Bus Company (owned by Centrebus and Wellglade) theres ex LU SO3 operating the Transpeak service between Derby and Manchester.

I'm in San Francisco at the moment, talking of ex London buses, I'd thought I'd mention the vast amount of ex London sightseeing MCW Metrobuses they have here. Certain wasn't expecting to hear the Gardner/voith combination over here. Made for a pleasent suprise! They're also using L class Leyland Olympians and tri axle Metro's and I think Dennis Condors (?) Ex big bus. Some of these still carry their uk number plates! Got 3 poor quality photos from my recent trip to the USA, One of the Metrobuses in San Francisco - i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss162/mcwm1199/634metrobus_zpsef002448.jpg -operated by San Francisco Travel. Reg no. 8T09 325, fleet no. 209. I believe this was formally LAT 514V over here. I'd certainly would of loved to of rode a Metro over there just to hear the screams of the retarder on the hills of San Fran. Unfortunatly my girlfriend wanted to do the Big Bus tour and we ended up with Leyland Olympian E351 NUV, which still gave a spirited ride. i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss162/mcwm1199/666_zps2a49159a.jpgIn Las Vegas, I noticed numerous Leyland Titan's - i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss162/mcwm1199/1283_zpsd1219332.jpg - I think this is operated by Big Bus. Reg no. 472 YMT, Fleet No. 48. Formally OHV 676Y/T676. Must say, it looked superb in the Vegas sun! I also saw A638 THV/T1038 and I think I saw one of the RIK **** batch. All in all, I think its great to see these former London work horses still working hard, day in, day out in harsher climate conditions than London I wonder how long it will be before we start seeing cascaded UK spec'd Dennis Trident's and B7TLs in US cities, bearing in mind that left hand drive Dennis Tridents already exist that side of the pond.

That would of made some noise! That hill down to Fishermans Wharf is bloody steep! I would hazard a guess that the RML is posing for a photography shot there, otherwise he'd driving up on the wrong side of the road!
