@@ewanhawke I agree that it's something completely random to say, considering that there are a lot of Metrobus companies/system worldwide (for example, not far from where I live atm, there's Metrobus in Bristol - although unlike our Metrobus, it's just a branding for some First West of England routes)
GUYS, IF YOU GO ON THE FLEET LIST, WHAT’S 6762 ?! Is that a new, permanent bus to Metrobus, that they’ve decided to decorate in retro branding (like they did with a Volvo Eclipse 2)?
@@ewanhawke There's also 6760 and 6761. 6760 is YX23OTB previously used at Hulleys of Baslow - I went on 6760 when I once did a day trip to the Peak District!
So both the 71 plates have been refurbed now 😁, and so since Crawley have lent Copthorne a Gemini 2… Does anyone know if an ex-Southdown Double Decker is getting refurbished? 😁 I SO HOPE SO!
They seem to refurbish 2 buses around the same time as each other and with 6711 being the only single decker to be refurbished a double dec ker might be refurbished soon. 6711 hasn't been in service since Friday but I dont thats because its being refurbished, 6990 hasn't been out since the 21st when it broke down on the 410 (but that dosent mean its not being refurbished!)
@Eit88official So.. how do you mean..? Are you saying that the E400s and E400 MMCs are getting a repaint but not 6949? But do you know if a double decker is getting a repaint right now?
@Eit88official 6712’s been done! 😀 But yeah fair enough.. because the double deckers are so relied on (in the week), it’s probably harder (or going to be harder) to find the right time to get them done. But I’m sure Crawley will be able to give Copthorne a loan!
@Eit88official To be honest, the OmniCitys became pretty crap in 2024, so I wasn't planning to ride them a lot. I'd like to go on 6629 one more time though.
Ride on and metrobus are both bus systems operating in washington dc
@@MetroFann999 What?
@ewanhawke yep! They are both our bus routes!
@@ewanhawke basically he/she is saying that Metrobus also runs in Washington DC (capital of the USA), not just Sussex/Surrey
@ Yeah but it doesn’t right? Well it’s a completely different, non-associated company?

@@ewanhawke It's one of the 6 Enviro200 MMCs on hire, but rather than plain white, it's been hired from Hulley's of Baslow.

@@gabrielstravels Ok okay, thanks both of you for the answers! But when the LV74 ••• Hydroliners come back, then these loans will all go back?

So far I’ve been told by a Metrobus worker that the E400s and E400 MMCs are staying, the other double decks are going including 6949

@@ewanhawke Not as of now, the 67** will still be redone but the only two left are 6711 6712. So not long left until they are redone

Hey, in new news just to say that 6626 has been withdrawn permanently now and shall be scrapped.
