At one time, the Guy Arab was a common sight in the Central SMT fleet, in both single- and double-deck form. This list covers acquisitions since 1950, anything earlier lying outside the current scope of this website. In addition to the above, a number of Western SMT Guy Arab II double-deckers were on loan during 1957.
