This MCW Metrobus lacks any obvious identity. The City Sightseeing logo across the front also lacks the "Washington DC" tag. The original destination aperture suggests that the bus is not from London.

Metrobus 323 is more readily identified as former London M804 (KYX804X). The bus was converted to open top in its London Buses service days for the Z1 zoo service in 1993. It became part of MTL London but passed in 1997 to open top tour operator London Pride, transferring to City Sightseeing, Cambridge and got used for the Rugby World Cup victory parade in London's West End in 2007 but later that year ended up at the Anglers Retreat Pub in West Drayton. In late 2008 it was acquired by Ensignbus and despatched to Washington DC in April 2009.

This nearside view of the anonymous MCW Metrobus pictured above shows the graphics used to depict the sights of the capital. The top rear seems oddly void of decoration, seemingly lacking the stars and stripes others in the fleet enjoy.

Leaving Union Station is another anonymous MCW Metrobus. It does carry UK registration MTW104X but no Metrobus was registered as such when new.
