Is it a 5LXCT?
But many other Metrobuses were fitted with a 6LXB unit while retaining a rear engine compartment flush with the rear panel line, so would you mind enlightening me on why this could no ...

This seems to have a shorter bodywork than the rest of the type. As S3N92 pointed out, TOJ592S is an early prototype. Story about this vehicle can be found here: http://thebbpg.co.uk/toj592s.htm

As for the running day itself, great event. Thanks for the owners for bringing their brilliantly restored vehicles along.

I reckon this bus had a 5LXCT engine, and Gardner wanted it back and fitted to the Bluebird Olympian.

Correct. Only 30 were built, and all went to GMPTE.

From my understanding this is one of the 2 being preserved by SELNEC (plus one more bought for parts).

Thanks for your sharing! I wish I were there too...

And really a great appreciation to the owner of 3053 for
restalling the "MCW" badge on the front...:lol

The 3065 in Coventry Corp livery is no doubt another
surprise...great to see that it's preserved (that's the last
Coventry Metro I rode on).
