Over the years Scania has provided various models for operation in
London, first arriving in 1989. A larger batch of Scania N113CRBs were
purchased by London Buses Limited in the early 1990s, bodied by
Alexander and Northern Counties. These passed to privatised operators in
1994. Scania re-entered the London market in 2002 when Metrobus took
stock of a fleet of single-deckers. The Scania N94UD and Scania OmniCity
double-deck models became popular with a number of operators between
2006 and 2012. Although not purchased in the same numbers as its rivals,
the London Scania's provided Londoners with a reliable service for many
years. The introduction of new rolling stock, along with
standardisation, spelt the end of the type in London service. This book
provides a potted history of the various Scania models during their
service in the capital.
