"Urbancool" 509 N509UWY

Alexander Strider bodied Volvo B10B 509 N509HWY was and will remain one of my favourite buses to drive for a long long time. I had the oppurtunity to run her in to the depot on Wednesday and it was a brief pleasure, the sun was shining but was always wrong for a shot so yet another depot shot I am afraid. Not bad though?

509 was new for "Starbus" work at Keighley before transfer to Harrogate where she fitted in well alongside 504/508 and 510. After a couple of years they went to Blackburn for storage ( not low floor )

504 and 509 were converted into 3+2 seat belted school buses and came back to Harrogate for use on school work replacing two Javelins. 504 and 509 operate the 603 school bus to Rosset from Bilton. There are so many kids on 603 that both buses are full to capacity everyday..

I think 508 was sold on .....

510 ( another super bus ) sat at the back of Intack depot and spent 2 years dying a painful death before going to Barnsley to be put to sleep......
