As NatEx West Midlands are ending their Metrobus operations, does anyone know where they still operate in service elsewhere? And any Titans aswell? Imperial Buses operated Titans and Metrobuses on route H1 (Loughton to Harlow) but they disappeared in late 2008. raymond946.fotopic.net/p45010369.htmlredbusrover.fotopic.net/p26131135.htmlAnd in August 2009, TWH operated an open-top Metrobus on their NWF service (Epping to Harlow), the NWF service ended this month. The Metrobus usually operates on private hire work. www.harlowride.co.uk/enthindex.htm#TOP (click on TWH Bus and Coach on the left side and scroll down) Metrobuses and Titans can aslo still be seen every now and then on rail replacement work.

This was discussed in another thread only a month ago. Carousel still operate quite a few M's, Nu-Venture also have T's running about still. The London Bus Company has T's and M's that make appearances at rallies and Cobham has M6 which was on show at Cobham 2008. Sullivans has B62 WUL as a rally bus as well, whislt Atbus still runs Metro's (some LEZ converted) as railway replacement buses. Ensign also has a large number of M's for sale should you be interested.

Travel de Courcey in Coventry also run a number of Metro's, a number of which are ex-TWM or TC!! I think they're mainly used on school services, but a couple can normally be found out on normal service

And if you want Leyland Olympians, L1 is with Southern Transit whilst L2 & 3 (both formerly with Connex & Travel London) are with Griffin of Kent. Blackpool Transport have a few D FYM L's on their sightseeing tour Line 20 route and also have ex Lothian examples (though only for school routes) and Y & A reg Olympians which are still in service on Line 1.

There were a few M's running in Tunbridge Wells when I visited a couple of months ago, on route 285. Not sure who operates it now, and the buses were giving no clue (I was on the wrong side of the road to read the legal lettering).
