Rail Replacement - 23
Thomas of Rhondda has been a significant contributor to the major Rail Replacement work on the Pontypridd to Treherbert line to enable Transport for Wales to deliver the Metro project.
However, pre-dating the vehicles that have been sourced specifically for the additional work is this Wright Eclipse Gemini-bodied Volvo B7TL, which was acquired from First West of England in March 2022 and was initially used in First's Olympia livery. Her capacity also makes her ideal for school contract work.
She appeared to be engaged on the latter when I captured her by chance on Pontypridd Road, Porth - her new home town - in February 2024.
