A relict of the past - a photo on Flickriver

A relict of the past

            Seeing this Autosan was deffinitely one of the biggest surprises of my life.

Autosan H9-21 #WGM03254 is seen at a halt on the bus stop Sobieskiego/Szpital in Skierniewice, beofre continuing the journey towards Łowicz, where it was stationed.

This particular bus was produced in the Autosan works in Sanok as far back as 1987. Originally, it had served PKS Tarnów for the first 20 years of its lifespan, before being purchased by PKS Skierniewice. In 2023, after a sizeable 36 years of service, it was withdrawn from duties. At the end of its carreer, it was possibly one of the last 3-5 [rough estimate] Autosan H9-21 busses, equipped with manual doors with a handle aswell as the unmodernised front and back in normal service. I unfortuneately didn't get to do any better shots, as the weather had been terrible throughout this December day and I hadn't even known the bus was coming :p.

As of now, the fleet of the H9 series busses in Skierniewice has decreased to just 4 units, only one of which having the original front, with none of them having doors with handles.
