The LONDON TRANSPORT Merlins

This page updated 6th February 2015.

Bus Histories

These histories are incomplete. They are being assembled as I stumble across chunks or fragments of data, that I try to assemble. Some sources are confusing - or inaccurate, and in some places I have to choose between proffered alternatives: I may be wrong.

Especially useful have been:

Chassis: AEC Merlin, 18ft 6in wheel-base, 11.3 litre AEC AH691 diesel.

The Merlins came in several batches:

XMS 1-6 (Total 6) B25D+48

Introduced: April 1966, Central Area, for new West End and City Red Arrow Services.
Body: Strachans, 36 ft x 8ft 2.5in: dual door, 25 seats + 48 standees, AFC. Low driving position.
