Extra Clippers
First Cymru repainted a further pair of Wright Eclipse Urban-boded Volvo B7RLEs into the attractive three-tone blue and gold variation of corporate livery in late 2015. These were for an increase in vehicle requirements on the Neath to Swansea group of "Cymru Clipper" services from the start of the new year, operated by Port Talbot depot. The two Volvos are usually to be found on the Neath to Swansea Service X55 short workings and interworked Service 57 (Neath-Briton Ferry-Swansea), which has become part of the "Clipper" network by default.
They finally received fleetname vinyls in late Spring, though they differ slightly from those applied to similar vehicles based at Swansea Ravenhill and its sub-depots.
By way of illustration, 66960 is captured entering Alfred Street in Neath in early June 2016 on an X55 working.
