VR - Very Respected
T R Coaches of Treorchy was still operating two Bristol VRs on school contracts for Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC as late as 2012- ECW-bodied JMB 401T, new to Crosville, and former Cardiff Bus Alexander AL-bodied CTX 396V.
The latter had been acquired in 1999 and was to see service until 2014, whereupon she was sold to the Cardiff Transport Preservation Group. I believe that this was only for spares, though I'm happy to be corrected.
This shot from June 2012 shows her sedately leaving the depot on her way to Treorchy Comprehensive School to take up an afternoon run.
