Farewell to the Wolverhampton Metrobus
22nd June 2009

With the Optare Spectra's (4001-4022) from BC due to transfer to Wolverhampton to replace them, the Metrobus is due to finally bow out of service at Park Lane Garage during 2009.

Although some Park & Ride Metros are included here, most are in a separate collection on the front page.
