All of the 14 guided buses were converted for conventional use and all have since been withdrawn. 14 guided buses were delivered for service 65 (branded Tracline 65), which was the first guided bus system in UK, although the experiment only lasted a couple of years. They were mainly used on limited-stop services. Many of these buses were converted to normal seated buses and continued in service until November 2008. These included 5 prototype vehicles (allocated to Washwood Heath depot near the MCW factory so they could see the vehicles performance in service) and 50 dual-purpose Metrobuses with high-back seats, purchased in 1986. The West Midlands PTE and its successor, West Midlands Travel (now trading as National Express West Midlands), also took significant numbers of Metrobuses (over 1100), both MkI and MkII examples. They remained in service for London Buses until 2004, when the last examples were withdrawn. London Transport's Metrobuses were the mainstay of the double decker fleet between 1987 and privatisation in 1994, when most of them passed to seven of the new operators. London Transport's low-cost subsidiary Harrow Buses leased 29 new MkII Metrobuses in 1987, but had to return them to their lessor three years later. In 19, 14 secondhand Metrobuses were purchased from Greater Manchester PTE, West Yorkshire PTE and Busways. Two MkII prototypes were delivered to London Transport as M1441 and M1442 in 1984, but there were no further orders.
London Transport took 1,440 MkI examples between 19, numbering them as M1 to M1440. This prototype Metrobus is owned and still operated by Midland Classic of Swadlincote, Derbyshire. LT were so impressed with the vehicle they placed an order soon after. The demonstrator TOJ 592S was lent to London Transport in December 1977.
