Optare produced these buses based on the MCW Metrorider. This vehicle operated with Merry Hill Minibuses and then passed to West Midlands Travel who eventually donated it to West Midlands Police to use as a police liaison community unit. The police donated it to the Museum in 2014. The museum now uses it as an exhibition and promotional vehicle.
