The history of the British bus industry is littered with companies that like shooting stars shone for a while and then fell to Earth.
‘MCW’ or to use what was its full title ‘Metro Cammell Weymann’ was one of them.
Dating back to 1932 as a group and to long before that as individual companies the end came in 1989 when owners the Laird group shut MCW down.
