First Cymru's Haverfordwest depot now has an allocation of 15 10.8m Alexander Dennis E20Ds following contract gains in April 2024 at the expense of Bysiau Cwm Taf.
Whilst the depot has its own maintenance facilities, there is a requirement for vehicles to occasionally return to the parent depot at Swansea Ravenhill and for other E20Ds to make short term appearances in Pembrokeshire.
A prime example is 9.6m 44555, usually found operating the services to West Swansea. This October 2024 shot of her was taken at Picton Place in Haverfordwest when she was operating Service 302 (Withybush Hospital-Haverfordwest-Johnston-Milford Haven-Hubberston). Despite this being the most frequent service in the County and a commercial operation that previously underpinned the viability of the depot, it is now operated under contract to Pembrokeshire CC.
When National Bus Company-owned South Wales Transport took over Western Welsh's Haverfordwest depot in 1972, four Northern Counties-bodied Leyland Atlanteans were transferred with the allocation, and these were specifically for the Hubberston service (numbered 303 in those days).
