[IUI 2140] was new to London Transport in January 1982 as [KYV 415X] [T415]. Through its career with London it saw service with London Transport, London Coaches, Atlas Bus, and Metroline.

[IUI 2140] joined the Nu-Venture fleet in January 1997 along with three others (T341/459/485) for use on a new school contract in the Cliffe area of Kent. Since their introduction on these routes they have strayed onto many other Nu-Venture routes, This buses usual haunt is the service 191/192 between Chatham and Hoo occasionally putting in an appearance on minibus routes 113/114 from Chatham to Hempstead, Gillingham and back to Chatham. It has also operated on the Chatham Park & Ride service on a number of occasions It is allocated to the Hoo depot for use on these routes.

It was briefly allocated to Aylesford in the summer of 2000 where it worked the busy service 82 between Park Wood and Maidstone.

Along with sisters (T459/85) [IUI 2140] features a non-standard revised dashboard layout.

It was converted to single entrance H44/32F before arriving for service with Nu-Venture. It was retrimmed on 9th December 1998, the first to be treated and remains unique in that the seats are in a different fabric to the other Titans in the fleet.
