Originally a demonstrator and then in the Rhondda Buses fleet via Parfitt's, 599 had been one of the earlier repaints into Stagecoach colours. It would remain with them for some years, latterly receiving the fleet number 32999 in the national series.
After disposal it passed to Top Kat Travel of Caerphilly who re-registered it A19 TKT.
