Oxford's MetroRiders replaced the Transit based City Nipper fleet and were initially in those colours. However, 780 (G780WFC) was one of the few remaining MetroRiders in the Oxford fleet at the end of July 1998. A number which had migrated to Wycombe Bus had been ousted by Mercedes minibuses displaced in turn from Go-Ahead London fleets.

Still busy in early December 1998, was MCW MetroRider, 783 (G783WFC).
