Over the last few years, Metroline has invested heavily in new buses that comply with EU emissions standards, helping to reduce the levels of emissions produced from our overall bus fleet.

Although the old London double decker back loading Routemaster bus is a firm favourite with tourists and Londoners alike, they are old in design and pass out higher emissions than the newer designs available on the market.

Furthermore, access for disabled users is also impossible on Routemasters which were not designed with the current low floors, ramps, wide isleways and reserved spaces.

Out with the old in with the new

At the end of 2004, all Route Master buses used by Metroline were decommissioned and replaced by new models. Our fleet is over 1000 strong in size serving North West London and comply with the EU emissions standards.

But it isn't just buses that contribute to air pollution. We provide our services in the hope that the public choose to use our buses rather than their cars. Decreasing the amount of private vehicles on the roads will improve the general air quality of cities like London.
