 The DR130 was higher, allowing a much more spacious interior, but making the design unsuitable for continental tours and limiting its appeal on the secondhand market.Some 127 Metroliner DR130s were built in 1983-87, for NBC (102, for numerous subsidiaries), SBG (12 for Eastern Scottish, Northern Scottish and Western Scottish) including the prototype after its use as a demonstrator, Tyne & Wear PTE (6), London Buses (4) and WMT Central Coachways (3).Sometimes known as the Hiliner or Metro-Hiliner, the single deck HR131 featured a higher floor than the original CR126 model.
