I wonder if there are any members that live in the north of scotland please ?
There is town or village up there named Poolewe.
In that town/village, is supposed to be a builders yard and in that builders yard is or has been an old Coventry Transport bus, fleet number 504, a single decker. What the devil it is doing all that way north goodness only knows, but I wonder if it is still there ?
Does anyone know please ?

Info says 504 was withdrawn in 1969 - what happened to it?

Well it somehow ended up in the north of Scotland, but I dont know if it is still there, this is what I am trying to find out, I have even "Google Earthed" the town, but can see nothing.
Where did you get your information about its withdrawal from anyway ?
Also can I do a quick e mail to you to explain something please ?
