MCW Metrobus MkI DD in red livery "London Transport"

This item has a limited edition certificate included.

The Metrobus, manufactured by Metropolitan Cammell Weymann in Birmingham, was the next volume purchase by London Transport of new double deck buses after the DMS. With LT running Metropoltans from the same manufacturrer, they took a demonstrator on loan at the end of 1977. This resulted in a trial of 5 vehicles running in 1978/9 that was successful so orders were placed for significant numbers that were progressively introduced from 1979. The production vehicles could be distinguished from the trial vehicles as they had smaller, Routmaster style, bling boxes. LT considered the MKII version by trialling a pair against Leyland Olympian, Dennis Dominator and Volvo B55 types. A third Metrobus MKII was also due for delivery as a MKIII prototype but never materialised, like the MKIII Metrobus itself. Apart from a number of single door MKII's for Harrow and a few secondhand vehicles bought from the north of England, the LT fleet was all MKI with the asymmetrical windscreen design. The LT Metrobus fleet went on to total 1,485 with LT becoming the biggest customer for the Metrobus, even beating West Midlands Travel in whose territory the Metrobus was built. M331 ended its London service running for London General.

New Products & "Advance" orders

We are unable to supply accurate information regarding the expected delivery date of soon-to-be-released products. We are one of the largest model railway & model road vehicle retailers in the country - and so are always amongst, if not, the first to receive delivery of brand new releases.

We allow you to place pre-orders for many items - all these listed at our ehattons.com Forthcoming Releases page. We also allow the opportunity to sign up for a "Delivery notification" email, which will be sent when the item arrives into stock, but this doesn't create an obligation to order.

New items appear on our websites at least within a day (often minutes!) of delivery, and in our magazine advertisements after 3 to 7 weeks.

This site is updated continuously, and reflects current availabilty and prices
