Around midday on 31st October 2001, in a quiet corner of Dorset, RT277 came to an ignominious end when it was set alight by an arsonist.

The bus had previously been used as a traveller's home, but had been towed away by the council to the location shown here, awaiting disposal.

Despite the efforts of the fire brigade, the bus was completely burnt out.
