It wasn't me that took the pic but I saw one in service and one in the Depot when I went past it so probably not.

M-Travel have added at least two more of these:
K304 FYG and K310 FYG. The first being half painted with the green rear and roof being complete the rest of the bus was still in a rubbed down blue.
K310 was in a red/maroon and yellow livery bit like Black Prince. There was a fleet name which had been removed either Carters or Charters!

Does this mean the ex-TWM Metrobuses are being scrapped then given the newer buses (and the Metrobus' successor!)

Looks a distinct possibility, also as anyone seen either of the remaining Optare Deltas (G 937 MYG or H393 SYG) recently? I'm sure that one of the regular Delta drivers is now driving one of the 2 R prefix Excels. |

I think I know which particular driver you on about, I have seen him driving the Excels in the past.
I think the Metro's will be staying because if they have taken up the new routes as the Metro website says so they will need the new buses to cope with the PVR and spares.

Looks like it's Geoff Ripley who is selling this and not Hunters! Do Hunters have a depot at Barnsley? |

No they don't, I think Ripley's is the nearest appropriate dealers from the Leeds area.

Does anyone know whether there are many ex-West Midlands Metrobuses left?
Also, does Halifax Joint Committee have many ex-London Metrobuses left?
I hope to visit the area in late Feb or March and hope to ride examples in both fleets then!

M-Travel have a few still in service but you could have a wait after you get off one because they are not on every trip of the 134 and the 184 seems to be Spectra's all of the time.
I have mentioned HJC's Metrobuses in the other thread.

Many thanks K414 for letting me know!
I may come later this month (weather-permitting) to make sure I ride one.
I agree with you answering about HJC in their thread.
I am tempted to wait until change from First to Huddersfield bus on other Halifax routes occurs but I am prepared this may be unwise.
