Midland Bluebird TSU 682 (F812 YNV) at Digbeth Coach Station, Birmingham - 8 Sep 1995

Friday 8 September 1995 (approx. 1505) – National Express stipulated a maximum age of seven years for its contracted vehicles and Midland-Bluebird 203 (TSU 682), a 1989 Jonckheere Deauville bodied Volvo B10M, was approaching that maturity. It was new in March 1989 as F912 YNV (new to Hillingdon Travel of Uxbridge) although it came to Midland-Bluebird from Grampian Region Transport. Seen leaving the old National Express coach Station, Digbeth, Birmingham it was bound for Glasgow duplicating the 1230 National Express service 593 from London to Perth (Scotland). In front was Wessex of Bristol 171 (H72 PWO) working a Friday and Sunday only 1500 service 325 to Luton (due 1710).
