Critics Review
‘David’s book provides an excellent snapshot of the London “Metros” across their lives – from heyday to sunset. Also included are some interesting interlopers – Metrobuses which were acquired second-hand by LT and ex Hong Kong examples used on sightseeing. “Native” Metrobuses with subsequent owners are also featured.’ * Bus Fayre, Spring 2026 *
