Metrobus 174 (HCF174W) is seen on display at Thorpe Park for Showbus 80. The Metrobus purchases
followed happily from the Metro-Scanias and again reflected the interesting nature of Reading's fleet.
Whilst Metrobuses were more 'main stream' they were not a widespread purchase amongst then municipal
fleets, who typically preferred Olympians.
