WMT 638, Metrowest, Brierley Hill, 1994

            Black Country independent bus operator 'Metrowest', was bought out by rival, West Midlands Travel in 1994. For the short time that the company existed in the hands of WMT, the fleet was expanded with WMT Leyland Nationals and MCW Metroriders. However, most of these buses were showing their age, particularly the Metroriders, of which many were on their last legs. 

Stripped of major mechanical parts, Metrorider 638 was pictured in a heavily cannibalised state at the back of Metrowest's Delph garage at Brierley Hill. The bus had previously been parked inside WMTs Walsall garage were it was in a partly dismantled state after the frame was found to be too heavily corroded to repair.
