A most surprising appearance on the 429 was this Volvo Citybus. Two of the type had been based at Oldham but as they were specifically for working one route (the 408) they were only rarely seen in Saddleworth and I never managed to photograph one. It was something most unusual when 7009 turned up on this occasion, as it was by then a Bury depot bus and on this occasion, 7th April 2001, I didn't let the opportunity pass.
