The London Buses Metrobuses: M

Bus histories

These histories are far from complete. They are being assembled as I gather information from a variety of sources (that don't always agree with each other).

Particularly useful have been:

Organisation

The London Buses Metrobuses are listed first, followed by the other London Area companies. This is complicated rather by the second-hand market, takeovers and transfers as the boundaries between "old" and "new" London companies have blurred.

Original London Bus Ms are only listed once, even if subsequently in other companies' lists.

The Ensignbus list is the second Ensignbus, that was taken over by Town & Country, not the first that became Capital Citybus.
