Stevensons 83, Burton-on-Trent, 1991

            Greeted with some surprise at the time, West Midlands Travel sold on a number of their older MCW Metrobuses to Stevensons of Uttoxetter in 1989/1990. Some of these older Metrobuses were found to be suffering from corrosion, particularly in the steel framework that made up the supporting structure of the engine and gearbox bay.

A program was eventually put together by WMT at Walsall Works to correct this issue, but by this time several buses had already been sold on. 

Former 2075 (BOK75V) was one of the vehicles sold, being  numbered 83 into the Stevenson's fleet. A former Wolverhampton based bus, 83 is seen turning from New Street into Union Street in Burton-on-Trent in the summer of 1991. 

After use with Stevenson's, BOK75V ended up working London Pride as a city tour bus in 1997. It was converted to open-top configuration in 2000 and went on to do a stint as a sightseeing bus in Blackpool. BOK75V was eventually withdrawn sold for scrap in 2009.
