[UK] The very last day of service of Coventry Metros (7 Jul 2009)

Although the Metros of National Express Coventry had been withdrawn from official service last Saturday,
all six of them were out again yesterday for a special service for the Oasis concert at Ricoh Arena.
The free shuttle buses ran from Ricoh Arena to Coventrians Rugby Club, Coventry Airport and Coventry
Railway Station respectively:

Also at the scene were the "newest" members of Coventry garage, two of the five Tridents transferred
from Birmingham Central garage to replace the Metros:
