Service

United Kingdom

Only three were sold in the United Kingdom. These were bought by MTL in Liverpool in 1995, and passed to MTL's successor Arriva North West and Wales in 2000. They were in service until 2008, when they were sold on to Heartlands Bus in the Midlands.

In mid to late 2010, the three right hand drive N4009s were scrapped.
