UWV607S didn't take part in the Epsom Derby of 2008 as it headed north to the Scottish Bus Museum at the end of 2007. It worked along with preserved PHH149W at the Kirkby Stephen bus rally of 23/03/08 (no info received on this event too) and at this years event there on 12/04/09, before heading south for this years Epsom Derby.
In recent years UWV only usually sees use at Epsom and and Fairford, though in late summer 2004 it was used at Woolacombe bay by Lancaster Leisure.
