Northumbria MCW Metroliner National Express 159
Another doubledeck coach after Ridley's Plaxton Panorama last week, but this one is some 35 years older. Thanks to Peter Rigarlsford who was prompted by last week's update to our gallery of National Express doubledeckers to dig out this picture of an earlier generation MCW Metroliner new to Northumbria Motor Services. We have added the image to the National Express gallery. The Metroliner, 159 (B472JVK), is seen on its lasts days in the UK. Peter had just driven it on trade plates to Southampton Docks and it was thought to be headed to Big Apple Tours in New York and doubtless rendered topless. Several Metroliners in the UK were similarly converted, the lengthy vehicles having an extra helping of top deck seats for such duties.
We have thousands of pictures to choose from for our Picture of the Week but you are welcome to send in your own. If we do not feature it here, it may appear later in our picture gallery.
Ideally pictures should be 732 pixels wide and no more than 100kB.
