601 was
new to SYTs Greenland garage in May 1990 and was part of a strong batch of
Volvo B10Ms ordered, 601 being the very the first with the
Alexander PS body in the UK.
They were
intended for routes 93/51 and were delivered in Sheffield Mainline livery, a
branding used by SYT in the 90s.
It
was converted to a training bus and ended it's service life in
Glasgow.
It was first
preserved in the South of England before being offered for sale to some trust
members in early 2018.
601 has
seen some restoration work already but there is still a long list of jobs
before a return to the road. The plans are to restore 601 as
new into Sheffield Mainline.
