MCW Metrobus with Alexander body. Not all Metrobuses were MCW bodied. New as Strathclyde PTE MB19. |

Does symmetrical windscreen mean Mark.II? Or does that only work for MCW bodies?? |

After many years of bus spotting I have developed a theory about trying to extrapolate physical features like this into an identification or classification. Don’t. |

Photo of EUS 110X says "Strathclyde PTE had a liking for the MCW Metrobus ..... Alexander RH body on the Metrobus DR102/26 underframe" |

So, what do we post here? |

I can't find any Mark reference for Metrobuses with Alexander bodies across loads of online pics with various styles, so now thinking it only works for MCW bodies as 2 options - originally Mk1, then (as wiki etc suggests) additional Mk2 available from 82 alongside continuing Mk1. |
