Short Term Hire

Ridgways of Port Talbot currently has Alexander PS-bodied Volvo B10M P830 FVU on hire from Chepstow Classic Buses for its small network of local bus services in the town, which are usually maintained by a pair of former Bus Eireann Pointer-bodied Darts.

 

She was one of a large number new to Stagecoach Manchester and was transferred to the South East fleet in 1999. Chepstow Classic Buses acquired her in May 2014, as one of a number of the type hired out for transporting fruit pickers in places such as Cornwall. Stagecoach's South Wales fleet had 20824-6 from the same batch, and Chepstow subsequently purchased 20825.

 

This late November 2015 photo of her was taken in Victoria Road when operating Sunday only Service 8 (Port Talbot-Sandfields), which is in the hands of First Cymru on Weekdays.

 

Wonderful Machines.
