CMB/NWFB Daimler/Leyland Fleetline ( XF / LF / SF ) In 1971, the China Motor Bus acquired a Daimler Fleetline CRG6LX-30 (RLX1, later re-classified as SF1) and the bus delivered to Hong Kong in a year later. That was the Hong Kong's first Daimler Fleetline being introduced. The Fleetline assembled with the Metal Sections bodywork at CMB's Java Road workshops. Total length of the bus was 30-feet. There were 45 seating and 32 seating installed in upper and the lower saloon respectively. The standees allowed in the lower saloon was 21 passengers. After the success of the running of SF1, CMB placed totally six orders of Fleetline from Daimler since 1973. Totally 335 Fleetline were being acquired where 305 were 33-feet in length (LF) and the others were 31-feet in length (SF). The first batch of 30 Fleetline, with model CRG6LXB-33, were provided by Daimler. And because of the production line of Daimler transferred to Leyland, the next 335 Fleetline became Leyland Fleetline FE33AGR (LF) and FE31AGR (SF). The LF1-LF106 were bodied with Metal Sections bodywork and the remaining Fleetline were bodied with Walter Alexander L-type bodywork. Later in between 1986 and 1988, a number of Fleetline, originally fitted with the Metal Sections bodywork, were re-bodied with Walter Alexander L-type bodywork. In 1980, CMB started to acquire the former London Transport DMS-class Fleetline to Hong Kong. Totally 207 DMS-Fleetline were acquired upto 1984. CMB fleeted them as XF1-XF206 for passenger services and a T19 for its driving school. After CMB lost its franchised bus services in September 1998, the New World First Bus, which took over the 88 franchised routes, acquired only 72 Fleetline 33-feet (LF) and 28 Fleetline 31-feet (SF) from CMB. After the acquisition of the Fleetline, NWFB re-painted a number of SF with its standard livery which made the bus more attractive. As the delivery of the new buses comes, the Fleetline retired from NWFB's fleets in the summer 2000 and one of them, the SF31, was preserved by a bus-fans in Scotland and the bus left Hong Kong on May 12, 2000 to deliver back to Southampton.
