It has an Iveco engine & ZF Gearbox with a Renault chassis, Irisbus body & loads of internal parts from Optare. Very Strange combination...

I am beginning to see some urgency to try and ride a Metrobus and a Spectra with M Travel in March. As well as Nottingham, Metroline has recently withdrawn over 50 Tridents, some of which could replace earlier double-deckers with M Travel.

All the Metrobuses will be going soon, so you better catch them while they are still around on the 134! I am going to bash them one day too.

Good idea G547VBB, but are they restricted to route 143 now?

Interesting to note LG02 FEO still has two doors, I wonder if they will be converted or kept as they are, if they keep all 10 of them double door i'm sure Metro won't be best pleased...

All the Ex London tridents should be duel door unless converted by the seller before delivery, Why would metro be unhappy? Red Line have 3 buses running with duel doors out of five.

Considering the amount of stick First's ALX400s get I'm surprised there has been no outrage at the arrival of these buses at M Travel

Given the configeration of the Bus Stations at Castleford and Pontefract in particular it would be almost impossible to alight at the centre exit
