2590 HN was delivered new to United Automobile Services in 1960 as a 41-seat dual-purpose vehicle (fleet number UE 590). It was re-seated as a 45-seat service bus and repainted red over the winter of 1967/8, but retained the additional aluminium trim as evidence of its former existence. In January 1969, it was one of 21 single-deckers that passed with United's Carlisle operations to Ribble Motor Services as part of the newly-formed National Bus Company's redrawing of company boundaries. This vehicle features in the BT Models range as Ribble fleet number 270 (01-Dec-17)..
