This rather out of the way bus stop, on the southern fringe of Walsall town centre, was being used for buses to the Yew Tree estate when this picture was taken. However, you wouldn't know it from the very unhelpful destination on this MCW Metrobus Mk2. This was the last day of operation of Metrobuses in Walsall by Travel West Midlands. Built in Birmingham, the Metrobus was bought in large numbers by the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive and its post deregulation successor, West Midlands Travel, from 1979 until the end of production of the type in 1989. In 2010, National Express West Midlands (as West Midlands Travel has now become) withdrew its last Metrobuses.
