Celtic Connection - 1
Since early 2012, Celtic Travel of Llanidloes has operated three of these stylish Wright Eclipse 2 Urban-bodied Volvo B7RLEs on Service X75 (Rhayader-Llangurig-Llanidloes-Newtown-Welshpool-Shrewsbury) after taking over the service from Tanat Valley the previous year.
The service has its roots in Crosville and Crosville Wales Service D75 (Llanidloes-Shrewsbury), which, after passing through the hands of Midland Red (North), Arriva Midlands North and Arriva Cymru, transferred to Tanat Valley, as a Powys CC contract, in 2006.
Two of the three Volvos - BG61 SXX and BG61 SXV - are pictured in Newtown Bus Station in September 2013, heading for Shrewsbury (Amwythig) and Llangurig, respectively.
Since the photograph was taken, the layout of the Bus Station has been reconfigured to a 'drive in, reverse out' facility, and the company received three MCV eVoRa-bodied Volvo B8RLEs for the service in Summer 2018.
