Seen at Heathrow Airport in the new London United livery on the 140, April 1996 is M285.

An early Monday morning arrival on London United route 27 at Baker Street. M746 looks particularly fresh in the new London United livery.
|
Looking a bit 'pick & mix' on its way to Piccadilly, M720 obviously suffered some front nearside damage recently.

 This offside view of a 285 Metrobus shows the route branding then recently applied to the regular fleet of Metrobuses, before they gave way to new Dart SLFs. The bus is seen at Heathrow Central Bus Station. |
Route 81 has seen a variety of vehicles since London United sold its Optare Deltas. Dennis Dart SLFs have now settled on to the route, though this Metrobus harked back to doubledeck operation when London Buslines operated DMSs and Olympians. Back in LT days the route had been RT operated, and briefly RM, though is perhaps best known
for the early Leyland Nationals (LS class) which arrived after initial comparative operation with Metro Scanias on the S2 in Dalston. Prior to the Darts, the small London United Leyland Lynx fleet run the route.
