United Counties 809

United Counties (NBC)

809 RNV809M

Just before the traffic flow was reversed in Kettering's Gold Street, United Counties 809 (RNV 809M) loads outside the shopping centre on the 269 service to the mystery destination of Bryant Road. Subsequently vehicles could only travel down Gold Street, though during the day it is (theoretically) pedestrianized.

809 spent its life at Kettering, being one of ten VRs delivered to UCOC in the spring of 1974 and was withdrawn at the end of 1988, by then in Stagecoach ownership, passing to Ensign of Purfleet and later seeing service in the Portsmouth area.

28 January 1986
